From the staff room
What department leads tell us
“The confidence our Year 12s gained was remarkable. Several drew directly on their published pieces for university applications — and their coursework grades reflected it.”
Head of English, Sixth Form College
“It sharpened exactly the skills our A-Level students needed — argument, voice, and control of tone. Seeing their names in print changed how seriously they took their own writing.”
