Enormous thanks to the departments of History, Art, Music and SEN.
Enormous thanks to the Library, Heads of House and English for organising these exciting events.
GMS is incredibly fortunate to have connections with authors, producers and the local community, without them this festival programme would not be as interactive as it is.
The school asks parents and carers to join in. The homework is to read, read and read some more, it would be marvellous if whole families could share their love of stories and books, whether fact or fiction.
Of course, GMS’s staff are involved and will attend events when able to. House Leaders are particularly excited about their House members being able to earn more House Points to boost their totals.
An event such as this requires much dedicated hard work and GMS thanks Mrs Legerton for taking the lead in coordinating the Literary Festival so professionally.
