By the end of this week, each of our S1 pupils will have been issued with a copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel Kidnapped. Reading this novel will be the main focus of their learning in English this half term.

Why not join us? We shall keep you up to date with our journey through the book, and what we are learning. This week - the first couple of chapters, and our hero's great expectations...

Look out for after school reading groups on Kidnapped over the next few weeks. It would be great to hear your views...
