Meet with award-winning illustrator and author, Catherine Rayner, who will be joining us in the Forest to read her new book, Molly Olive and Dexter: 'The Guessing Game'

You will also be able to meet the Head, Davina Bowers, and have an opportunity to speak to her about the curriculum on offer, discover a typical daily routine and have the opportunity to ask questions about fees, after-school clubs and how to apply.
