What a Night at the 2025 PageTurners Book Awards! 📚✨

We had an incredible evening at the PageTurners Book Awards Gala hosted by Weald Of Kent Grammar School Academy Trust, celebrating the power of storytelling and the joy of reading with so many enthusiastic young people. It was truly inspiring to see students from across West and North Kent fully engaged in the event, excited about books, and connecting with fantastic authors.

A huge thank you to the amazing school librarians who work tirelessly to make this scheme a reality—your dedication and passion for promoting literacy is invaluable. Also, our gratitude goes to the participating schools for their support and, last but certainly not least, to the incredible guest authors M. A. Bennett, Simon James Green, and Catherine Johnson for making the night even more special with their insights and energy.

At Zuri IT, we’re incredibly proud to support an initiative that encourages young people to put down their phones and pick up a book. Alongside Warners Solicitors, we were delighted to co-fund vouchers for every student in attendance, ensuring they could leave with a book of their own from the wonderful Sevenoaks Bookshop stall on the night.

A massive congratulations to M. A. Bennett! 🏆 Her gripping novel, S.T.A.G.S., won the 2025 PageTurners Book Award, and it’s easy to see why—what a thrilling read!

We’d be honoured to be part of this amazing scheme again next year and can’t wait to continue supporting such a valuable initiative.
