Worm School Author Visit

This week year 6 we were delighted to have a visit from cartoonist and author Simone Lia. Simone wrote and illustrated, “They didn’t teach this in worm school” the novel the class have just finished studying.

The morning was an opportunity to discover more about the author and her ideas and inspirations. Simone showed us some of her cartoons, signed books and read from her sequel. Simone inspired the boys to listen to those who build them up and reminded them they all have talents that they can achieve success.

She was particularly impressed with their writing based on the characters from her novel.

 

 

The principal and leadership team, well supported by the Orchard Hill College and Academy Trust, have provided strong leadership, which has had a positive impact on the school’s effectiveness. As a result, there have been improvements in all areas, most noticeably in pupils’ behaviour and attitudes, the curriculum and in the wider opportunities for pupils.
