Cambridge Literary Festival.
Cambridge Literary Festival. As part of our commitment to ongoing and meaningful professional development, a group of teachers from our English team at St Martin's College attended the Cambridge Literary Festival. This visit reflects the efforts of our College to encourage a love of reading and our belief in the importance of chronicling human experience even through fiction. The author-led sessions inspired a critical consideration of how wonderful their works can lead to growth and learning in the classroom.
