Time Will Tell Project
The Time Will Tell project is in association with the BBC and the Cheltenham Literature festival. Various schools are given a specific decade to represent - this year The Crypt school have been assigned the 1980's.
Students are required to write a short story to convey their school's chosen decade. Crypt students will focus primarily on The Miner's Strike. The students will then transform their story for the stage and present it at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in October.
They will receive some help along the way with visits from their decade detective Rachel Jones, the children's author Phillip Ardagh and dramatist Fiona Ross.
