Etone College promote reading for all and as part of this commitment, we have a Staff Book Club. This has two elements:
- Reading for Pleasure - each half term, staff collaborate to recommend a book. A copy of the book is raffled so that one lucky staff member receives a free copy. A Microsoft Team enables discussion (without spoilers) whilst reading, and at the end of each staff term there is an opportunity for a face-to-face meet-up to discuss the book. We also run a staff book swap where staff can bring in books that they have read which are then available for other staff to lan.
- As part of our trust wide commitment to CPD, we recommend a pedagogical read each term linked to whole school priorities. A copy of this book is raffled to staff, alongside a copy being purchased for our growing staff library. Specific parts of the chosen book will be referenced in CPD, and - when appropriate - extracts may be given to the whole staff as pre-reading.
