In November 2020, @SFWA came forward with a stunning accusation: Disney had told the beloved writer Alan Dean Foster (author of the original, bestselling Star Wars novelization) that they would not ever pay him the royalties he was owed.

The @lythamhigh initiative on the #Holocaust is superb and inspiring. This is a long term interest at the School, with numerous visits to #Auschwitz and a few years ago a staggering Mal Smith/student audience participation drama which I remember as it was yesterday.

Well done Tyler in Yr.7 @lythamhigh ! He set himself a titanic challenge to read Moby Dick by Hermann Melville and has successfully quizzed it this week. 'I try all things. I achieve what I can'.
