Coalsnaughton Primary School has been commended for their approach to reading.

It has been awarded the Silver Reading Schools Award, reflecting the commitment of the school, its staff, pupils and families to promoting reading.

They've worked together on a range of initiatives to create reading-rich environments, resulting in the milestone.

Over the past year, Coalsnaughton Primary has run whole-school reading events, improved the school's library and fostered collaboration between all the pupils.

The school and nursery have said they are proud of the award which recognises as a significant milestone of their hard work and passion.

A fundamental part of the school’s reading culture is nurturing a love of books among pupils.

The list of accolades for Coalsnaughton Primary does not end there.

A group of pupils, alongside Mrs Manson, set up a School Enterprise project to raise money for the Clackmannanshire Home-Start project.

The pupils organised Busy Bee Bingo events as a business plan and participated in the Clackmannanshire Dragons Den Enterprise Competition.

The pupils managed to win the competition due to their passion and commitment to the cause.

With the profit of £170, the pupils got the chance to present the money to Carolyn from Home Start at a recent school assembly.

Three students, alongside Mrs Manson and headteacher Mrs Clark-Burns, are set to attend an awards ceremony on Friday at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Here, they will be presented with a Social Enterprise Award in recognition of the school's involvement in social enterprise.

The award, run by the Social Enterprise Academy and Social Enterprise Scotland, celebrates schools' commitment to having a positive social impact and operating businesses for good.
