I had a great first day at North Durham Academy yesterday. I’m Patron of Reading there for the next year and was looking forward to meeting the pupils who I’ll be working with. As well as an assembly talk and a library meet & greet I did a creative writing session for the Gifted & Talented English students, followed by an introduction to animation for the G&T Art students. There was a lot of creativity flying about in the sessions and I’m hopeful we can build on it in future visits to the school.
