We are excited to announce that PHSG students are playing an important role in the Children’s World Book Awards, the UK’s only national book prize that is entirely reader-driven – from start to finish, the children themselves decide the winner! Each year, the award is presented to the most popular work of children’s fiction, with almost 700 books read and voted on by young adults across the country.
The Geography Department has been blown away by the creativity and effort put into this term’s ‘Biome in the Box’ project by our talented Year 8 students.
