Coritani Seniors travelled to Ripon to explore the world of Charles Dickens, where learners acted out a court case from the Dicken’s era.  It seems that once you get into character, and our learners did, it is easy to transport a 12 year old child to Australia.

They met the Guardians of the workhouse and experienced being left on the streets to suffer poverty in Victorian Ripon.  They also found out about life in a workhouse.

An inspiring excellence day so learners are ready for Oliver Twist in KS3 and A Christmas Carol as part of their GCSE English Literature.
