Bradford Literature Festival 2025

Posted 4th July 2025

We are incredibly fortunate that the internationally-renowned Bradford Literature Festival is just on our doorstep as a school, and like last year all students in Years 7, 8, and 9 have attended day-long workshops. It was a brilliant event, and a key part of our literacy strategy for students to see the importance of literature and Bradford's key role in literary history.

  • On Tuesday, Year 8 students went to St George's Hall, and attended the Shaking up Shakespeare event
  • On Wednesday, Year 9 students went to the University of Bradford and attended an event on The Gothic
  • On Thursday, Year 7 students went to the newly refurbished Bradford Live and attended an event looking at performance poetry and the power of poems to communicate our identities

Students (and staff) had a great time! A big thank you against to the Festival organisers for inviting us once more.
