Unfortunately this event has been postponed. Alex is an amazing author and a brilliant speaker and we look forward to being able to run this event later in the year instead.
We are delighted to announce that award-winning author, Alex Wheatle MBE will be visiting Eden Park High School on Thursday, 30th March. Alex will be performing for students in Years 8, 9 and 12 and signing copies of selected books:
