Year 8 students received a visit from the children’s author Alan Gibbons. Alan, who has been writing children’s books for over 20 years, delivered sessions on Creative writing and Gothic writing to those passionate about writing and reading. Following this pupils had the chance to get copies of Alan’s books signed and ask questions about his career as an author.
School Librarian Mrs Young said: “The students gained a lot from the sessions run by Alan and I hope they left inspired to get creative and put pen to paper.”
Alan’s most recent release is called ‘The Beautiful Game’ and is described as a heartfelt tribute to football, honouring victims of Hillsborough and other disasters, and celebrating trailblazing black players.
