The winner of the Hampshire Book Award was revealed in an exciting countdown at lunchtime on Wednesday 29 June.

The voting was fairly evenly spread among the six titles, but the eventual winner with just over 28% of the total, was Looking at the Stars by Jo Cotterill. Please see our Promoting Reading/Hampshire Book Award 2016 pages to find the countdown, some photos, more information regarding voting patterns and a short video of the winner's announcement at Winchester Discovery Centre.

Congratulations to her for a tremendous win; we hope she will be able to attend the Presentation ceremony in the autumn term.

Thank you to all staff and pupils for taking part. We hope you enjoyed the discussions, and we look forward to seeing you at the awards ceremony.
