THE author of a bestselling book which encourages girls to be confident and how to cope with anxiety is to visit a school in Oxford.

Scarlett Clark, author of The Smart Girls Handbook, will speak to students at Rye St Antony School today.

She will deliver an assembly, run workshops, and host one-to-one sessions with pupils from Year 5 and above.

Her visit is part of a programme which empowers pupils to ‘break the mould and seek success at every level’.

The Smart Girls Handbook was published in March.

Rye St Antony was founded in 1930 and moved to its current site at Pullens Lane nine years later.
