Achievements from the English Department

As last year’s New Views playwriting festival didn’t take place due to COVID, the entries were entered along with those from this year’s cohort into this year’s competition. 

Nine of our students made it to the final 100, and Aran Grover’s play ‘At Home With Gavin and Fran’, was one of the finalists.  His dark comedy will receive a rehearsed reading by professional actors at The National Theatre.  He will be talking about the experience on Radio Kent tomorrow at 2pm.  A huge congratulations to him, and to all of the students who took part.

Also, our Congratulations to Martha Hodgson in Year 12 for being one of the winners of the Newsquest Young Reporters scheme.  The students had to write articles on local stories, meet deadlines and hone their journalistic writing skills.  Well done to all the students who took part.
