Author Visit and World Book Day Celebrations at All Saints

Excitement is building at All Saints as we prepare to celebrate World Book Day this Thursday!

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome author Tim Tilley into school for a special visit linked to his magical novel Harklights. Students had the opportunity to hear about his inspiration, creative process and journey as a writer, bringing stories to life in a truly engaging way. A real highlight for many was the chance to have Tim sign copies Harklight— a wonderful keepsake to inspire further reading at home.

World Book Day is always a fantastic occasion in school, and this year promises to be no different. One of the most anticipated moments of the day is our staff fancy dress competition, where different departments dress up according to a chosen theme. The creativity, teamwork and good humour on display never fail to impress — and, of course, there is always fierce competition as students vote to decide the winning department!

Events like these celebrate the joy of reading and storytelling, while bringing our school community together in a fun and memorable way. We can’t wait to see this year’s costumes and continue sharing our love of books across the college.
