A busy week of fundraising organised by @NgateDereham student social team. Well done Ruby for guessing the closest total of book in the jar - winning Pudsey!
On a wet and windy day, it has been a delight to see so much colour and cheer around the school, with plenty of yellow, spots, and Pudsey merchandise brightening the halls. A huge thank you to everyone for the fantastic support shown today and throughout the past week.

An absolute delight to host our Writer in Residence @AHicksonLovence to inspire and delight our students @NgateDereham. Year 9s we’re buzzing from his presentation & selected Y11 workshops gave solid foundations, tips and confidence with their writing ready for Mocks this week.

Wonderful atmosphere in craft club today as we welcomed The Orchard Commitee. Seeing students from Y7 through to @UETDSFC socialising whilst crafting embodied #WorldKindnessDay
It’s #WorldKindnessDay 💛 The Orchard Committee & Craft Club made bookmarks with flowers pressed from The Orchard 🌸 They’ve hidden them in library books — borrow one and you might find a special surprise! 📚✨ #SpreadKindness #BookLovers @NGatelibrary

Thank you @NorfolkCBC for the opportunity to host @tiafisher_ another thoughtful, engaging presentation. Y10s & staff continued discussing your visit and new YA verse novel, Not Going to Plan, with the library loan waiting list growing! @NgateDereham #mirrorswindowsdoors

Today, students were thrilled to welcome Tia Fisher, acclaimed author of Crossing the Line, back to school for a special visit. Tia came to promote her brand-new book, Not Going to Plan, which delves into themes closely linked to topics currently explored in citizenship lessons.

This is such great news, not least because the prize is for books for 8-12 year olds, a category regularly sidelined by the Carnegie Awards - and yet primary school is the place where life-long readers begin. theguardian.com/books/2025/o…
