World Book Day: Character Costume Competition

14 February 2025

To celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 6 March, students are invited to dress up as a recognisable character from a book, as part of our Best Character Costume competition!

This is an opportunity to ‘become’ a character for the day and celebrate the world of books and characterisation, but it is not an opportunity for pupils to wear their own clothes to school.

Rules

In order to make the most of this competition, we ask that students follow these rules:

– The costume should be clearly recognisable as a character.
– The costume must be appropriate for the school environment.
– The costume may not be your normal everyday clothes, e.g. ‘a muggle’.

How to Enter

Anyone who would like to dress up in a character costume can meet in E3 during both breaktimes on World Book Day to enter our Best Character Costume competition.

Costumes

Please note that we would love for students to create their own costumes and use materials they already have rather than having to spend money.
What props/accessories have you got at home that you could adapt?
