🎉📚 Congratulations to Old Blue sisters Roxy (2008) and Corinne Mankoo (2019) on the launch of their first book, Fancy Cakes! 🎂✨

From building April's Baker from the ground up to creating a stunning book inspired by their journey of creativity and passion, Roxy and Corinne have turned years of hard work into something truly special. 💙

Their new book, Fancy Cakes, is a celebration of cake artistry, entrepreneurship, sisterhood and the wonderful community that has supported them along the way. 👏🍰

We wish them every success with their book launch and can't wait to see what they create next! 🌟

🎭💙 THANK YOU, READING BLUE COAT COMMUNITY! 💙🎭

What an incredible first Giving Day! We are absolutely delighted to have raised over £60,000 from more than 280 donations in just 36 hours, all in support of our new Performing Arts Centre.

From Old Blues and parents to students, staff, governors and friends of the School, the whole community came together to make a real difference.

Alongside the fundraising, we enjoyed a fantastic programme of events including 🎭 The Masked Singer, 🎨 Sip & Paint, 💃 Dance Workshop, 🎶 Mass Choir, 🏉 Staff vs Students Touch Rugby and much more.

✨ There is still time to support the campaign! The donation platform remains open for one more week, with opportunities still available to endow seats and flagstones within the new Performing Arts Centre.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, attended an event, shared our messages, and helped bring our vision to life. Every gift matters. 💙
