Write a book about your school
Woodmansterne Primary School’s School Story project brings together a wide range of generations and cultures to tell the story of why this London school means so much to them and their community.
The writers are involved in developing their contributions into a highly professional publication that tells the school’s story through a range of community perspectives.
At its most challenging this could be a book or a website, but the project also lends itself to being adapted to a range of shorter curriculum projects focusing on local diversity or history.
