World Book Day: South Ribble Mayor visits Leyland school pupils and reads their own poetry

The Mayor of South Ribble made a poetic visit to Academy@Worden in Leyland to mark World Book Day!

The Year 7 students were thrilled as Coun Jane Bell read out their poems which have recently been published in the book Empowered, The Power of Words, edited by Alfie Jones.

The Mayor is well-versed with the workings of the school as her four children were pupils.

And now three of her grandchildren are continuing the long tradition.
