The housebuilder donated £200 to the school to help stock its library along with 20 'Eco-tastic' books, which shine a light on the importance of sustainability within the house building sector.

Now in its 30th year, World Book Day aims to encourage young people to discover the joy of reading.

Lorna Kemplay, Headteacher at Pinders Primary School, in Eastmoor Road, said: “We really appreciate Taylor Wimpey working with us to provide more books for our pupils to enjoy. It has not only enriched the school’s resources but also directly supported their educational journey.”

Lucinda Dickens, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said: “We are committed to supporting the communities in which we build, especially local schoolchildren, and we are delighted to support them in this way and hopefully encourage a real love of books.
