On September 21st, former student and author Jane Biran paid a visit to BRGS. English students were treated to an informal talk and Question & Answer session about the process of writing.

Jane was evacuated to Rossendale from London during the Second World War and studied at BRGS.
Of her time at BRGS Jane says: "I received a sound education there for which I will always be grateful and guidance from teachers I have never forgotton."

Now living in Jerusalem, Jane was in the UK to promote her latest book "Sophia's Version" about a group of siblings recalling their childhood in the Rossendale Valley whilst at a family funeral.
