Staff Retirement

The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson. The first book is called ‘The Final Empire’.

It is a fantasy novel set in a world that lost to evil 1000 years ago and is ruled by a dark lord. A lot of themes about hope and never giving up.

Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah.The story is told through the eyes of a 14 year old boy abandoned in England by his father because his life would be better in UK than in his country of origin.

*Mr Charlesworth*

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It is a wonderful, autobiographical graphic novel that describes what the author’s childhood was like growing up in Iran. It blew me away with how different and interesting her childhood had been in a completely different culture and place.

*Ms Moss*

Touching the Void by Joe Simpson.A book about a mountaineering accident. It is described so vividly. I think it is such a clear description of how determined, strong ( mentally and physically) Joe Simpson was and I have always found this very powerful. Never give up! Also.. it was the book that made me never want to climb a mountain!

Libby Danahar is having a well earned retirement with her husband Dan who left at Easter.

Not only was Libby a caring and supportive Head of Year, she was also a first rate English teacher. We know we’ll see Libby back from time to time, however we hope they enjoy their time together exploring butterflies around the world.

A huge thanks for their dedication to their roles and we hope they will keep in touch.
