As part of our activities on the week of World Book Day, we welcomed Candy Gourlay, award-winning author of ‘Bone Talk’ and ‘Wild Song’, to the school to speak to Lower School and Abingdon Prep School pupils about reading, writing and stories. After an inspiring talk and book signing in the Amey Theatre, Candy ran a writing workshop for Year 8 pupils from both schools. Using the example of Narnia, Candy inspired our pupils to create their own characters who explored portals into other worlds.
