Scotland’s First Minister said visiting Prestwick felt ‘like coming home’ when she surprised school pupils to congratulate them on winning a top reading award.

Nicola Sturgeon praised Prestwick Academy students yesterday for scooping the Reading Inspiration Award as part of the First Minister’s Reading Challenge.The award recognises the school’s overall commitment towards reading, encouraging youngsters to explore the world through books.

Ms Sturgeon – whose family were born and raised in Prestwick and who spent the first year of her life on the site where the school is – spent the morning hearing from pupils about their personal reading journeys and the Read Woke Scotland initiative, aimed at encouraging young people to read more diverse and inclusive titles.
