We were visited on Thursday 15th July by Irish author, Christine Hamill, who talked to some of our Year 8 students about her book The Best Medicine. She told them why she writes and how delighted she was when comedian Harry Hill sent her a lovely handwritten letter endorsing her book and saying how pleased he was that he plays a major part in it! We were Christine's first school visit ever, and she was so impressed that she wrote about us on Facebook. Here's a little of her post: "So let's be honest, London schools have a reputation for being a bit scary, don't deny it! Well, I did two hour-long sessions at a London school last Thursday and I was nervous... But the kids were amazing, polite, well-behaved, funny and asked clever questions that made me think... So thank you, Fortismere. You were great and I am so glad you invited me." And thank you, Christine!
