We can’t wait for our visit from #joshsilver tomorrow! Students have been devouring HappyHead and it will be great to talk all things dystopian fiction and learn more from Josh about how writing can benefit young people’s mental well-being @OneworldNews @RocktheBoatNews

"The best way to travel is by book, you can go anywhere you like" - Benjamin Zephaniah

We've lost one of poetry's greats today. Zephaniah's writing helped many make sense of themselves and the world around them. Here's a video from our #MyBirminghamStory project back in 2021 ⬇️.

@maamw @itvnews Thanks for visiting! Saw your heartbreaking, beautiful film at the weekend. What an incredible cast including the mesmerising @MiaMBruce. I hope it gets shown and seen in schools and colleges all over and gets people talking🤞

What a great morning celebrating the launch of Ealing Teen Read 2024. A brilliant talk by @SueWallman with lots of great questions from the students. Thank you Sue! And a big thank-you to @WilliamPerkin for being such great hosts. @EalingCouncil @EalingLibs

[EPHS Library @EPHS_Library]

Great to meet @suewallman today! Her thrillers are among our most popular in school and it was great to hear about how she has used her own experiences and developed them into stories. Write what you know was great advice.

[Elthorne Park High @ElthorneHighSch]

Students in Year 8 and 9 were treated to an inspiring talk by YA author @suewallman at the launch of the Ealing Teen Read today. Thanks to Sue, @hounslowSLS and @WilliamPerkin for putting on a really great event.

@lucasjmaxwell Almost as annoying a statement as no one needs libraries anymore 🙄

[EPHS Library @EPHS_Library]

It’s #NationalPoetryDay2023 and here are some of our budding bards crafting their own works at the @nhehs Poetry Conference. They also loved listening to @hannahlowepoet recite sonnets from her collection The Kids and soaked up her words of encouragement and wisdom too.

[EPHS Library @EPHS_Library]

@JenniferKillick @a_reflective So many incredible pieces of work inspired by FEAR GROUND!

[EPHS Library @EPHS_Library]

As we start the new school year, it’s always fun getting to know what students love to read. Whatever it is, we hope we can help them find it and develop their own reading palate #readingatelthorne 📚😊

[EPHS Library @EPHS_Library]

Love love love this! Such a fantastic, original, heart-wrenching story about the value of friendship and looking out for one another. So deserving of this prize and all the accolades. Read it! 📚👏
