✍️ Inspiring the storytellers of the future! 📚 We were delighted to welcome storyteller and published @authoradam to Red House School for a series of workshops with our Senior School pupils, exploring the art of storytelling, creative writing and deeper themes through literature. 💭 From imagining weird and wonderful monsters inspired by Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, to exploring spooky ballads and crafting compelling narratives, pupils had plenty of opportunities to put their creativity to the test. Workshops also explored philosophical questions around evil and suffering, alongside creative descriptive writing opportunities for our gifted and talented writers. 📝 Through imaginative activities, literary inspiration and practical writing techniques, pupils explored how to bring characters and settings to life, build atmosphere and engage their readers. 👏 A huge thank you to Adam for an engaging and inspiring visit! #RedHouseSchool

🏥 Year 10 Health and Social Care pupils enjoyed a fantastic visit to Hartlepool Hospital, where they had the opportunity to explore the wide range of careers available within the NHS. 🩻 Through interactive stations and a patient journey scenario, pupils discovered how different NHS professionals and services work together to provide high-quality patient care. 🩺 They explored the hospital’s simulated bays, immersive suite and classrooms, gaining valuable insights into the diverse roles and responsibilities within healthcare. The experience also helped to raise aspirations and broaden pupils’ understanding of the education and training pathways available beyond secondary school. 🌟 A fantastic opportunity to inspire future career ambitions and discover the many possibilities within the NHS! #RedHouseSchool #EducationalTrip #HealthAndSocialCare #AnEducationEnjoyed
