Bateman Project Launch


BGS Bateman Project
The BGS English Department, in association with the Parents’ Association, is to produce a compilation of new writing inspired and influenced by the work of ex-pupil and famous author, Colin Bateman.

Bateman is a prolific writer, and has produced a range of novels for adults and children alike. We invite you to use the titles below as a starting point for your own writing – prose, poetry or play. Your teacher will have some ideas to stimulate you, but feel free to submit additional work directly to me.

All pieces of work should be word processed and offered in digital format via CD, memory stick or email (bgsenglish@googlemail.com).

You need not have read the titles concerned, but I would encourage you to do so after writing your own piece.

This is an exciting project, and I look forward to the prospect of reading your work, whether selected for the final book or not.
