Today our extraordinary woman is Mary Shelley (1797–1848), daughter of women’s rights advocate and writer, Mary Wollstonecraft. Between 1816 and 1817, Shelley worked on her novel Frankenstein in Bath. In 1818 the novel was published anonymously in London.

Although we would prefer for the pupils to be in School, it is amazing to see how technologically competent they are becoming on their 1-2-1 devices, building digital, collaboration and presentation skills that will benefit them in life after School! #buildingabrightfutureforall.

Brilliant afternoon @ColchesterHS. 12 of our Year 11 students with Mr Pryke and Miss Wright, attended a challenging and thought provoking masterclass on Aristotelian rhetoric led by @PhilBeadle. Thank you for the invite! An extremely useful session as GCSEs approach. #AimHigh
