I am really delighted and excited to share with you that I am planning a whole host of literary trips and visits for my tutees this year! Read on for all the details, and please do get in touch if you have any questions. 
Parents are welcome to all events and must accompany tutees in Years 7-11. Please note that where there is an entrance fee, you will need to make the necessary arrangements yourself. You will also need to provide a packed lunch where appropriate.
You are welcome to bring friends and family; please let me know in advance how many of you there will be.
Other than entrance fees and theatre tickets, I am running all of these events and trips for free – I hope that lots of you will get involved and I look forward to seeing you!
