Last week we took part in Dyslexia Awareness Week. It was a joy to have Cathy from @WandFLibraries join our KS3 and KS4 assemblies. The assemblies were inspiring as we heard about dyslexia, and about the resources available at Barrow & Walney libraries.

We celebrated World book day in style with the brilliant Josh Silver! Students were inspired by his assemblies and had fun in his creative writing workshops. Josh also judged our WBD door decoration competition! @WorldBookDayUK

We love that this year @worldbookdayuk is championing children’s reading choices, encouraging everyone to Read Your Way!

We couldn't agree more with them that every reader is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy reading 🙌 #WorldBookDay

Well done to three Year 10 students for their Remembrance Day Display in the library.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
