Baillie Gifford Schools Programme

We were delighted to welcome young readers and writers from across the Scottish Borders for a great line-up of in person and live-streamed events at venues in Hawick. The programme was bursting with imaginative, lively, educational, and fun events for pupils from Nursery to P7, with some of today’s best children’s authors and illustrators. And this year, there wee writing workshops for secondary school students too!
For those who were unable to join us in person, a selection of events were live-streamed via our partners, Scottish Borders Council’s Inspire Learning team, and will soon be available to view for free on our website.
Many thanks to our Schools Programme sponsor Baillie Gifford, who will provided free books for each pupil attending our events in person.
Travel grants were available for schools who needed assistance to attend our events in Hawick.
