We find out more about a second contribution to a Berkshire school’s book vending machine from a local park operator…

Warfield Park has made a second contribution to a book vending machine at King’s Academy Easthampstead Park (KAEP), in Bracknell.

Warfield Park made an original contribution to the machine upon its opening in July 2023. Executive director of Warfield Park, James Sumner, met KAEP students to mark the restock of the vending machine.

‘I am delighted that the donation we provided last year to offer books for the book vending machine at KAEP has proved to be popular with the students,’ said Mr Sumner.

‘I am pleased that as part of our ongoing support for KAEP to provide a further donation to KAEP to keep the vending machine stocked with books that are enjoyed by the students.

‘By providing a wide array of books, we not only offer valuable resources but also an opportunity to ignite curiosity and a passion for learning.

‘Warfield Park’s support of the school’s book reading campaign will continue, as will the close relationship that has developed.’

Mr Sumner added: “Each book has the potential to unlock new worlds, inspire creativity, and foster a lifelong love for reading and learning.’

Set in 90 acres of parkland, Warfield Park is one of the largest parks of its kind in the UK with over 530 park homes. Of these, over 470 are privately owned and more than 67 rented. Demand for new homes at Warfield is high with long waiting lists to both purchase and rent park homes.
