English Literature Year 13 students visited the British Library in London last term as part of their studies.
The trip on Monday, 20th October was organised to give students a taste of university-style teaching as well as being an invaluable opportunity to explore original manuscripts held in the Library.
The day began with a short workshop about the significance of reading a range of texts and the way we, as readers, approach personal reading. 
The group were then taken into the British Library’s Treasures Gallery where they discussed the ways in which the author, editor and publisher make changes to the text.
Students were given time to explore the Library, including the new Gothic exhibition, before heading back to Kettering.

English teacher, Miss Rachael Davies said: “The day provided students with a great insight into degree-level analysis of Literature, reminding me of how much fun academia is and giving the students that same experience.”
