The winner and runners up of the Poetry by Heart competition were announced on 26 November.
In November, Year 7 and 8 participated in the English department's Poetry By Heart competition, where all students learn a poem word-for-word and then perform it to the class from memory.
It was a tough competition, with each student learning their chosen poems expertly, but there could only be one winner, and that is...
With honourable mentions to those coming in 2nd and 3rd:
Congratulations to Misha, Mia and Filippa, and to all the girls that participated. Learning a long poem off by heart is no easy feat!
