We were very pleased to welcome @Literacy_Trust and @Dd_armstrong @StaffsPLS @HMPSwinfenHall yesterday to deliver a creative writing session.
It was a fantastic afternoon enjoyed by everyone. Its amazing to be part of the new chapters project. Looking forward to the next visit
Can’t wait for everyone to read this one well done … @AHicksonLovence you go from strength to strength
A month or so till the release of my YA, Wild East. Early words from writers I admire truly touching:
A powerful story... if I had this when I was younger it would have changed my life - @jeffreykboakye
A cocktail of prose, poetry and creative writing...superb - @Dd_Armstrong

One of this term's highlights was some extremely popular creative writing workshops with author @Dd_Armstrong. Our Y9 students came away feeling hugely inspired (and there was a large queue for DD's autograph!). Thank you for encouraging a passion for #literature & #creativity!

Brilliant work from @Dd_Armstrong 💜
Most of the time you have a clear idea of what to expect from title, cover and blurb...and look forward
This book is about a lot more than college in London. Armstrong weaves in philosophy into this gripping city story...

Great @ARE_R2S session @PhoenixAcadW12 with role-model, author & film-maker @Dd_Armstrong! The group started to build their Race Action Project, and had so many pertinent topics to talk about!

I can’t believe @JeremyVineOn5 would say replace the national anthem with something “more majestic” like Royal Britannia… I think this would be more problematic especially with it’s undertones to slavery and colonialism. Would do more to divide than unit
