Youngsters at Orton Wistow Primary School will be inspired to pick up a book thanks to a spectacular new piece of art in their school ibrary.

The twenty-one-metre long mural, created for the school by OuttaReach, depicts a woodland scene spanning all four seasons and including over fifty beloved book characters.

Headteacher, Simon Eardley, said: “Reading is at the heart of our school but we want children to develop a love of reading, not just to be good readers. The addition of this stunning mural to our Friends Library has helped make it a place where you want to sit down with a good book.

“The children love looking at the book characters which includes those from traditional and more modern texts. The project was made possible by a generous donation from the Friends of Wistow School.”
