Aslan, magical wardrobes, kings and queens – many of us would be familiar with the stories by C.S Lewis. Set in the fictional realm of Narnia, these famous books create a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts and talking animals.

Ficino School prides itself on the quality of its unique curriculum, with students’ progress in English grammar, literacy and creative writing featured throughout the school. The quality of the literature they are exposed to throughout the years really shines through when we look at the performance of our Year 8 students on their recent English Literature exam.

“The Last Battle”, the seventh and final book in the Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S Lewis exposes students to themes of good and evil, the value of friendship, the nature of reality and the traps that doubt and our minds play on us.

Congratulations Year 8 for your insightful and considered answers.
