This week Year 7 took part in a fantastic poetry competition organised by our English department. Students performed their poems to a really high-standard and we will be entering 13 students into the national @poetrybyheart competition. Well done to all everyone involved!
๐ฃ Just made this list of non fiction books linked to subjects - thought it might be of use to literacy leads in the run up to World Book Day ๐
