Tynecastle English

The wonderful Superpower Agency has been working with some of our BGE classes both this year and last, supporting our young people in embracing their creativity. After a fantastic celebration at the Queen’s Hall this month, the young people involved are now published writers!

This week our Class Act cohort got to collect the anthologies of the plays they wrote. Congratulations to our published playwrights! 🎭

Wishing our National 5 students the best of luck in their English prelim today!

This week our S4 Class Act cohort sent off their completed scripts! We are now all very excited to see their work come to life on stage in two weeks 🎭

Please encourage your young person to take a coat from our wide selection if they need one and all donations welcome to our school office #TynecastleCARES

As we near the end of Black History Month, we remember that the accomplishments, contributions, and narratives of Black people should be shared and celebrated throughout the whole year. Here are some writer recommendations to add a little ✨Black joy✨ to your reading list!

Any of our pupils in S3-6 can see Mr Mackenzie in the library for tickets to a FREE event on Friday 22nd November - a wonderful opportunity!

Thrilled to see the results of our BBC Lab workshop when some of our S2 students filmed interviews with YA authors Amara Sage and William Hussey at the Edinburgh International Book Festival last month! Great job S2! bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0g…
