We enjoyed a trip to the Edinburgh International Book Festival on 21 August 2025, where pupils attended the keynote speech by Laura Bates, who was talking about her campaign against Everday Sexism, and her new novel, the stirring fantasy novel, Sisters of Fire and Fury. This is the second book in her Arthurian legend series and pupils were delighted to receive a free copy of the book, signed by the author. Laura's books are of course available in the school library.
We also got a chance to wander around the Book Festival site, including the bookshop. It was very exciting to meet some other YA authors in the Book Signing Tent including Sarah Crossan, Bea Fitzgerald, Danielle Jawando, and Margaret McDonald.
