Always a privilege to do anything with David Kendall .. It was good to able to talk about the challenges and advantages of navigating higher education/ work and the world as a neurodivergent- without any formal compulsory learning..
Our #Y5 children absolutely loved talking with Justyn Edwards - Pre-order The Great Fox Revealed this afternoon. They ask some great questions and Justyn showed us a fantastic magic trick, we are all still trying to work out how it was done! Thank you Justyn for this engaging session! 🎩💫🤗 #reading Give a Book
The incredible writer Max Porter visited HMP Erlestoke for the 2024 #pennedup literary festival and read from his latest book #Shy . An entire room captivated. 👏👏 David Kendall for organising another brilliant event.
