Before the winter break, the English department ran a poetry competition for students and staff. The school community was invited to compose a poem on the theme of 'Winter'. We were absolutely delighted to receive forty-one poems, with students from every year group taking part.

Poetry is an artform that can be deeply personal and, as a result, it can be difficult to share. Poetry competitions challenge us all to create space for creativity in our lives and to be proud of the art we create. Thank you to everyone who took part and congratulations our category winners.
