In this episode of the Small Island podcast, Mr Vaux explores the idea of dystopia, reads some Simon Armitage, and interviews Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupil Ellie Bostock-Smith. Ellie, an incredibly talented young writer, discusses the pressures of GCSE study, her writing processes, and her struggles with structure. She also, of course, talks us through her favourite books - all before Mr Vaux challenges Year 10 podcast producer Michael with a fiendish moral quandary - albeit one that he seems almost too quick to answer!
