Fantastic Mr Fox

Staff from the English department organised various activities to encourage interest and enjoyment in reading.

Year 7 pupils celebrated Roald Dahl Day with the dress-up fun after a week of learning more about the author’s work.

Zoe Martin, one of the English team, said: “The project has encouraged our children to explore language and literacy.

“It has introduced them to a new, innovative realm of reading and writing.

“It has been a fantastic week and a real pleasure to see so many staff and children engaged in our celebrations, dressing up as a Roald Dahl character.”

Head teacher David Naisbitt added: “Promoting literacy across the school is important to the school community.

“Pupils have enthusiastically joined in new learning activities in a range of subjects.”
