World Book Day is not only a celebration of reading but also an important reminder of the value of reading at home. Encouraging your child to read regularly can significantly enhance their literacy skills and foster a lifelong love for books. ### ### Free Books As part of World Book Day each child will receive a book token which you can take to any book shop (e.g. Tesco, Sainsbury’s WH Smith, Waterstones, Morrisons) and swap it for a free book or £1 off another book of your choice. Thank you for your continued support in promoting a love of reading within our school community. We look forward to seeing the creative costumes and celebrating the joy of books together! **Miss Pallas** Deputy Headteacher [ Welcome Back - Mon 23rd Feb 2026](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/news/2026-02-23-welcome-back-mon-23rd-feb-2026) [Harehills Primary School Community Iftar ](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/news/2026-03-06-harehills-primary-school-community-iftar) ### Families - [Admissions](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/admissions) - [Attendance](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/attendance) - [Term Dates and Calendar](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/calendar) - [Extra Curricular - Clubs](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/extra-curricular) - [News](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/news) - [School Day](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/school-day) - [School Uniform](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/school-uniform) - [School Meals](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/school-meals) ![Harehills Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/images/logo/SchoolLogo_1600-white.png) ### Harehills Primary School Darfield Road Leeds West Yorkshire LS8 5DQ 0113 235 0539 ### Useful Links - [Attendance](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/attendance) - [Vacancies](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/job-vacancies) - [Term Dates](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/calendar) - [Admissions](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/admissions) - [Class Dojo](https://teach.classdojo.com/#/schools/4f0e08dd3b7c029066dc4786/story) - [Arbor](https://harehills-primary-school.uk.arbor.education/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574246122575) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 Harehills Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
