Just before Christmas, a group of 30 Year 11 students embarked on a trip to the Charles Dickens Museum. The students participated in a captivating workshop focused on Charles Dickens’ beloved novella, ‘A Christmas Carol’. Guided by Dickens experts, they delved into the rich social and historical context of the novella. The workshop not only enhanced their understanding of the narrative but also shed light on the prevailing issues of Dickens’ era, enriching their appreciation of the author’s work.

Following the workshop, the students were treated to an expert-led tour of the museum, which is housed in Dickens’ former London home.
