Zadie Smith visits

 

English literature student Landi, who came to Woodhouse from Copthall School, said “I’ve read a couple of essays by Zadie and I enjoyed her visit. She was very genuine and authentic in the advice that she gave. I am still considering my options for the future, but may take literature at university.”

 

Fellow student and friend Tiye (who came to us from Eastbourne College) agreed “I take English language and it was interesting to hear a real writers perspective. I found Zadie’s aura very calming and she seemed like a really nice person, very chilled. I told my mum that I met her and she was quite excited as she knew her work well. I really enjoyed her visit.”

 

We thank Zadie for taking the time to talk to our students and welcome her (and her children when they are old enough...) back anytime.
