Bishop Creighton Academy

The Duchess of Cornwall visits Peterborough

Pupils from Year 5 and 6 attended a Literacy Festival at Peterborough Cathedral. The Duchess of Cornwall, who is the patron of the Literacy Trust, also attended.
On Wednesday, 3 February representatives from Year 5 and 6 attended a Literacy Festival at Peterborough Cathedral. The Duchess of Cornwall, who is the patron of the Literacy Trust, also attended. Over 300 children took part form schools across the City Centre. Local author Guy Bass read his short story ‘Nightmare pigs in 3D’. Her Royal Highness then presented certificates to winners of a creative writing competition called Our Stories: Celebrating Peterborough’s Cultural Diversity.

It was a proud moment for Bishop Creighton as Alisha and Adrian escorted Her Royal Highness during the event.
 

The Duchess also visited Boots opticians and attended a reception at the Town Hall to hear success stories involving Peterborough’s position as one of three National Literacy Trust Hubs.
