Year 7 and 8 were treated to a performance of ‘Gothic Tales’ last Tuesday by @TheatreRedheart. The staging/lighting were excellent adding to the creepy atmosphere conducive to the reading of texts like ‘The Red Room’. Pupils were engaged and excited - thanks for a fabulous day!

Inspired by Katherine Rundell’s ‘The Book of Hopes’, some of our KPS pupils have written poems and narratives centred around the idea of hope. A new piece will be shared each week on the KPS journal for our readers to enjoy. https://t.co/iYgxBENrZb
