A Young William Wordsworth
Last week, a 6th Year Pupil, Gavin Fleming, received some exciting news.
Gavin recently entered a poetry competition, “The Poetry Games”, sponsored by “Young Writers”, an organization set up 20 years ago to encourage creative writing in the lives of young people across the UK. Gavin was thrilled to learn that his poem, “The Field”, has been ed for publication in the book, “The Poetry Games – Across the Globe”, and that his poem is currently being considered as a potential for one of the Twelve Finalists in the competition. Should Gavin succeed in becoming one of the finalists, he will be in the running for winning ₤1000 for the school and an IPad for himself!
Even so, his inclusion in publication is a great achievement, as the anthology of poems will be presented to the British Library and ed other libraries throughout theUK, including our own school’s!
Gavin thanked the English Department for their support throughout the competition and for their agreement to sponsor him for entry. He will receive notification on the finalists in January. We wish him all the best!
