The apparent barrier was all part of the school library’s plans for a Harry Potter-themed event. Potter fans will know the brick wall marks the secret entrance to the station platform where Harry makes his journey to Hogwarts.

Students at both campuses took part in a range of activities, including a Triwizard tournament quiz, making Dobby ear headbands and played a variation of Pin the Tail on the Donkey (pictured left) using a poster of Dobby (for those not in the know, Dobby’s the house elf from the Harry Potter books). Students also made Harry-themed cupcakes and, of course, enjoyed a spot of reading too.

Thank you to Tonbridge librarian Mrs Quinnell and Sevenoaks counterpart Mrs Carter for organising the event.
