Greenfield Primary School has been singled out for its uptake of the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, Saddleworth Independent reports. Royton Hall Primary and St Martin's Primary were also recognised, with the three recording the highest participation of the 92 schools across the area that took part.

Staff from Oldham Libraries and sponsor Kajima visited each school to hand out book tokens. Kajima has backed the challenge for the sixth consecutive year, and this year's theme was Read to the Beat.

Suzanne Hudson, Senior Development Officer for Oldham Heritage, Libraries and Arts, said: "Reading helps children build confidence, develop their imaginations and discover a lifelong love of books."
