John Barnes, executive headteacher of the schools, said: “We are extremely pleased to see these books being used again and supporting children both close to home and far afield.
“We have accumulated the books over a number of years and with curriculum changes we are unable to use them in our schools.
“Thank you to the school team for sorting and delivering the books to their new destinations.”
