Piers Torday came to school on Tuesday 3rd March to discuss his new book 'Tree Thing' with children in Year 3-6 and a local book shop sold several of his titles for the children to purchase. The afternoon talk was engaging and children enjoyed getting copies of their books signed.

Pippa was an absolute delight and she was the highlight of our book week. Pippa's workshops were inspiring and the children had a memorable day. Thank you so much Pippa!

Amazing! It's been enlightening and wonderful to have Richard join our Cub pack twice. First visit he inspired the Cubs with his story characters and explained how he wrote and came up with ideas. The pack then gave Richard some key words and a month later Richard returned with a short story to read to the Cubs on World Book Day! We dressed up and acted out some scenes and all the Cubs went home with a purchased book from Richard's Trilogy The Temporal Detectives.
It was a pleasure and we are so grateful as it's also inspired some of the Cubs to continue and compete their Book Reader Activity Badge.
Thank you for this service as we couldn't have been introduced to Richard otherwise.

We had a wonderful visit from Penny Joeslson this year to kick start our World Book Day celebrations. She delivered an inspiring talk to Years 7, 8 & 9 sharing the stories behind her books and offering a fascinating insight into her writing process. Her key message to our girls was perseverance matters and to never give up! Penny also led a creative writing workshop with Years 7 & 8 - the girls all worked really well together and produced some fantastic storylines! All-in-all, it was a great visit.

Claire was inspirational during her visit to our school. Staff and pupils were enthused by her expertise and the joy she brought to her sessions. The creative element to her workshop was really appreciated by staff and pupils alike. The drawing element of the workshop allowed pupils' ideas to come to life and created a real buzz about writing!

Abena was an inspiration for pupils. She signed copies of her book and gave pupils an excellent insight into her journey as an author. Additionally, she provided pupils with practical steps towards becoming authors and interacting brilliantly with pupils.
