We are delighted to announce that we will be welcoming visiting author Gita Ralleigh to our school on Wednesday 22nd April to inspire our budding young writers!

During the day, she will deliver a special assembly, sharing her journey as a writer, her creative process, and the inspiration behind her stories. This promises to be a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to develop their own love of storytelling and gain insight into the world of writing.

Gita Ralleigh is a poet, writer and creative writing lecturer, as well as a former medical doctor. She is the author of The Destiny of Minou Moonshine and The Voyage of Sam Singh, and now teaches creative writing at Imperial College London. You can find out more about her work at her website: https://gitaralleighauthor.com/

After school, there will be an exciting meet-and-greet and book signing event held in the Jubilee. Pupils and families will have the chance to meet the author in person, ask questions, and have their books signed.

Both books will be available to purchase at a special discounted price of £5 each (RRP £8.99), and can be pre-ordered via ParentPay to ensure you don’t miss out. The deadline for pre-orders will be Monday 20th, and a limited number of books can be purcahsed with cash on the day. 

We are very much looking forward to this inspiring visit and hope as many pupils as possible will take part in this wonderful opportunity!
