Here it is - the finished Pride display with our wonderful winners! Thank you #ProudBook for the inspiration and our wonderful @ArdenAcademy LGBT Student Group for creating and judging the competition @StripesBooks @junodawson, @charlieinabook and all the contributors 🏳️🌈
Thank you so much to @julianaurelius & @chitanchitan for inspiring our Reading Rewards students. They loved hearing about your experiences in Japan, writing about abandoned spaces and creating some Manga.
Hope you enjoyed the sushi made from sweets!

Heads down writing, hands up contributing – the perfect author visit!
Thank you @BryonyPearce for an amazing visit which inspired our students and had students literally begging me to let them in your workshop!
Thank you @KenilworthBook for organising :)
We then descended into madness and the crafts became a limbo chain and the student librarians used our former poetry slam props to hold a library protest.. to each other... because why not?
Happy half term!
Thanks so much to @sethburkett for working with our students again.
Our Year 7s delved into the literary techniques of biography writing and capped off the day showcasing their football tekkers on the field!

Great to see @ArdenAcademy mentioned in the @AuthorsAbroad_ newsletter with a special mention for our wonderful Maksym sharing his story with the other schools.

When I set up the Able Writers (now A.I.M High) scheme in 2002, talented young writers like Catherine were the ones we hoped to reach and inspire. It is so satisfying to see the work from such sessions, all due, I'm sure, to the wonderful inspiration from writers like yourself.

Thank you for sharing Catherine's brilliant poem. It was wonderful to work with the incredible students at Arden Academy.

Read this poem by young writer Catherine from @ArdenAcademy & produced at an A.I.M High Day organised by @AuthorsAbroad_
Black darkness
seeping in,
crawling underneath my skin.
Black darkness,
swirling around...

The student librarians have created an amazing Valentine's display!
Can't wait for the students to take books out after half term. It's always one of our popular displays 💝📚
“But the library should be the heart, the soul, the mind, the source, the spring, the gold-bearing seam, the engine room, the treasure chamber, the priceless inheritance, the joy and the pride of the school. Every school.”
