Happy World Book Day! @WhitmoreHigh are now accepting donations of gently used books for ages 11-14, in partnership with the @lonbookproject so if you have any that you are willing to donate to us for our pupils to enjoy, we'd be very grateful. Diolch yn fawr! @EnglishWhitmore

[Whitmore High English Department @EnglishWhitmore]

We’ve had an absolutely fantastic day - a big diolch to @wbtourlondon for having us, and a big shoutout to our pupils for being wonderful throughout! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 🎉

Year 8 were very lucky to have a talk from author @hamedamiri1989 yesterday. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, Hamed. The pupils took a lot from it and your story, resilience and advice was very inspiring. @EnglishWhitmore @WHSdog @WhitmoreHigh

I have had a lovely few weeks back @WhitmoreHigh after returning from maternity leave. It’s wonderful to be back in the classroom doing what I love!

@HGold_author Not chapter books but the Rabbit & Bear series are lovely. My 7-year old son loves them!
