Inspiration and Imagination Take Centre Stage with Curtis Jobling

On Mondayr, students in Years 7 and 8 enjoyed a memorable visit from Curtis Jobling, celebrated author, illustrator and animation creator. Curtis is the creative force behind some of the UK’s best loved children’s shows including the BAFTA-winning Bob the Builder, Frankenstein’s Cat, and Raa Raa the Noisy Lion. He has also written and illustrated numerous picture books and published eleven novels for older readers, most notably the acclaimed Wereworld series, now adapted into the new Netflix animated show Wolf King.

Our students watched in awe as Curtis brought his characters to life through live drawing and shared his experiences of storytelling, creativity and perseverance in the writing process. The visit concluded with an exciting opportunity for students to purchase signed copies of his latest novel Wyrdwood making it a truly inspiring day for our young readers and artists.
