We are thrilled to announce the results of this year’s Laurus Trust Book Awards (LTBAs)!
After much anticipation, the ceremony took place this April, and it was a resounding success.
LTBA elective students from our Trust High Schools came together at Laurus Ryecroft to celebrate the LTBAs and find out which book would be crowned the winner.
After the votes of all our elective members were counted, the winning book of the 2023-24 LTBAs was revealed to be This Book Kills by Ravena Guron!
