Let's see what we have been up to at Buckingham Primary School.. 

On Friday 30th January our new library was opened by MP Munira Wilson. We were joined by lots of special guests, including members of the amazing Fair Start charity, our school governors, volunteers and the author, Zoe Antoniades, who then spoke to the children. 

The children watched on the big screen as the ribbon was cut, revealing a magical readers’ paradise. Everyone sat in awe as they were shown around and children were heard saying, ‘It’s perfect’, ‘I’d give it a million stars’, ‘It is brilliant and the best library in the world’. Once again, we would like to thank everyone who made this possible. We feel very lucky!

Please read below to see what our Year Six prefects said at the beginning of this wonderful event:

“Today is the 30th January 2026 and for us it is a very special day.

It is the day that we officially open our new library.

It is the day when we finally get to see behind the closed doors.

It is the day when we can celebrate the wonderful people who have made all of this possible.

It is the day where we get to celebrate books and all the opportunities they give to us.
