The school kicked off its Literacy celebrations, to mark International Literacy Day, on Friday 8th September, with a fantastic author visit from Alex Nye in the library. 

S3 English were an excellent audience; listening intently to Alex as she talked of her books and career as a writer, and asking lots of questions, such as: “If you didn’t write ghost stories what genre would you write?”, or “What books inspired you as a young person?”, and “Do you have a fixed place where you write or can you write anywhere?”  Alex was very inspiring and pupils (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed her visit.
