During the week we were delighted to welcome authors Curtis Jobling, Alan Gibbons and Sally Green into the school to give presentations and hold writing workshops for students in Years 7, 8 and 9. Students in Year 10 and 11 attended theatre performances of Macbeth and An Inspector Calls. **G Brighouse, Assistant Headteacher said** *"We are very proud to have provided the opportunity for over 1000 students to have visits from authors, for over 750 students to experience a Shakespeare production and over 750 students have had the opportunity to watch a live performance of a twentieth century classic. Providing these cultural opportunities for our students is important and we hope helps to inspire a lifetime love of literature."* ### 2022 Literary Festival [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4267.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4267.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4261.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4261.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4268.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4268.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/C%20Jobling%20Visits-13.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/C%20Jobling%20Visits-13.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4256.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4256.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4277.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4277.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4259.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4259.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4334.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4334.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4342.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/1H5A4342.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/2022-literary-festival/Literary%20Festival%20Full%20Programme.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/2022-literary-festival/Literary%20Festival%20Full%20Programme.jpg) [ School Musical - Once On This Island](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/news/2022-02-04-school-musical-once-on-this-island) [Summer Camp 2022 Parent Meeting ](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/news/2022-05-06-summer-camp-2022-parent-meeting) ### Our School - [Welcome from the Executive Principal](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/headteacher-s-message) - [Our Values & Ethos](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/our-values) - [Virtual Tour](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/virtual-tours) - [Our Staff](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/staff) - [News](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/news) - [Admissions](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/admissions) - [Open Evening](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/open-evening) - [School Performance Information](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/results) - [Ofsted Information](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/ofsted-information) - [Policies and Reports](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/policies-and-reports) - [Governance](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/governance) - [Work For Us](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/recruitment) - [Prospectus](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/school-prospectus) - [Omega Multi Academy Trust](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/our-school/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Contact Us](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/contact) ![Great Sankey High School](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/logo/Omega_Part_of_Logo_White_Mono.png) **Great Sankey High School** Barrow Hall Lane Warrington Cheshire WA5 3AA Tel: 01925 724118 Fax: 01925 727396 Email: ## Follow Us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/GreatSankeyHS/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/great_sankey_high_school/) ## Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Great Sankey High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://great-sankey-high-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) Update cookies preferences
