You may have seen on Twitter that we had a major celebrity in school on Friday last week! Maisie Williams, who stars in the hit fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones and has had a recurring role in Doctor Who, grew up in Somerset and attended Bath Dance College. She called into the Junior School to tell the girls a bit about her life and work, and to help raise awareness of the upcoming Masquerade Ball at the Assembly rooms in aid of the NSPCC which is taking place on 4^th June.

The NSPCC is a cause Maisie holds dear, and a good friend of hers works for the charity. Several of our Year 9 girls and Junior School pupils have made masks that will be used as table decorations for the ball. It was lovely to welcome Maisie to The Royal High School — the girls (and the staff!) were very excited to meet her.
