Encouraging creativity
“We’re keen to offer something to our local community, but we’re also hosting a whole series of events for our students which link together Art, Drama, History, and Enterprise, and encourage our students’ creativity,” says Principal Jane Fletcher.
“The festival is about raising the profile of English and Literature. It enriches our curriculum and gives every student the chance to experience and be inspired by professional authors, musicians and speakers.”
