The most popular costume at the academy was that of Spiderman, followed by Superman and Batman.
World Book Day is celebrated to stress the importance of literacy, which underpinned the events of the day. The pupils began their day with an assembly promoting reading and writing.
Duncan Cruickshank, principal at Begbrook Academy, said: "A love of books and reading is the most important thing we can give our children.
"World Book Day is a fantastic opportunity to inspire children with a range of activities that promote reading in every way."
Pupils at Glenfrome Primary School in Eastville came in dressed as characters from books on as part of a book-themed week.
