Professor Andrew Fitzsimons visited BST to lead a thought-provoking workshop on writing in translation to our students. Our adult community also had the opportunity to attend a fascinating talk on his most recent book Basho: The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Basho @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA
@Literacy_Trust announced children's writing enjoyment hit the lowest level ever recorded. This is why @UKLaureate Joseph Coelho's fantastic work with young people is so vital! All students @BST_Primary and Yrs7&8 took part in superb poetry workshops as part of #BSTFestoftheArts

Novelist @Elif_Safak on the importance of libraries. When people are displaced, books and libraries are essential.
This is such an excellent MS book! Delighted that it's been nominated for the @sakuramedal Award 2025 Available to borrow from both campuses @BST_Tokyo

Today we enjoyed a riveting discussion of The Handmaid's Tale @MargaretAtwood by our Senior students' Banned Book Club. A work of speculative fiction published in 1985, it draws on real life social & political events and 'has never been more relevant'. @BST_Secondary @BST_Tokyo

It’s Halloween dress-up @BST_Tokyo @BST_Secondary and already the library is filling with spooky characters!
