This summer, pick up a book. Here are Mr Craggsβ top 6 from the last year. Check some of these out or choose your own! Donβt complain if you donβt like mine but I absolutely loved these! Each spoke to me in a different way. @MitchAlbom@henryfraser0@PaulMerse@whitburnlit
Part 4 in an occasional series! βNot all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readersβ said Harry S Truman! This is what Mr Craggs has read recently. Why not get away from the screen and pick up a book?
Part 5 in this occasional seriesβ¦much popular culture this time with 4 biographies. My biology is well represented this time too. Read what you enjoy and what captures your imagination!
All set for open evening. Weather has conspired against us but a warm welcome and some food samples will hopefully make up for that! Come and talk to our fantastic student ambassadors in 20 subject areas.
Our charity reps recently responded to an appeal from Cheviot Court Care Home and this week delivered a load of cards written by our students to residents who were at risk of not getting any. Well done to all students who responded! @WhitCofEAcad
