On 1st July we have an author coming into school to talk to the Year 8 & 9 students.
Rhian Ivory was born in Swansea but moved to the Brecon Beacons where she went to school until 11. She then moved all the way across the border to Hereford. She returned to Wales to study English Literature at Aberystwyth. She trained as a Drama and English teacher and wrote her first novel during her first few years in teaching.
She got her first publishing deal aged 26 and went on to write three more novels for Bloomsbury. She took a break to have three children and during this time taught Creative Writing and also a Children’s Literature course for the Open University.
The Boy who drew the Future and Hope are both published by Firefly. She is a National Trust writer in residence at Sudbury Hall and the Museum of Childhood. She currently lives in Rutland, the smallest county in the country, with her family and their two very lively spaniels.
Rhian's latest publication is the novella 'Matchgirl' as part of Three Strikes (October 2018).

A reminder that all students to should lock their lockers every day. If their locker does not lock, students must report this to Student Services and our Campus Team will ensure that the locker is fixed. In the short term, if the locker does not lock, we can look after valuable items in Student Services. It is the student's responsibility to use their locker properly and ensure that it is locked at all times. If a student has lost their key, a new one can be purchased at a cost of £5.

THE LIZ THOMAS MEMORIAL FUND
The Liz Thomas Memorial Fund was set up in 2016 to support students of William Brookes School in the form of an annual award to be used to widen and enhance their experience of a chosen interest in the realm of performing arts or media. Recipients might use the funding to access opportunities such as extra dance, drama or music tuition; visits to galleries or theatres; or maybe attend a series of lectures to enhance their development and personal enjoyment.
Application Rules
· Any student of William Brookes School from any Key Stage is eligible to apply.· Applications are to be received for consideration during the first week of October.· All applications received will be considered by a panel made up of a member of Liz’s family and a member
of staff from school and shortlisted applicants will then be invited to attend a short interview.· Following interviews, up to four recipients will be selected and awarded an amount from the annual Award
total of between £600 and £800.· Depending upon what the funding is used for, successful applicants may be invited to contribute to the
School’s annual Presentation Evening the following September by way of a performance, a reading or submission of a piece of academic work inspired by the event they attended. They will also be presented with a certificate at Presentation Evening in recognition of what they have done.
· Successful applicants can not apply in successive years. They may, however, re-apply after one year has elapsed.
