  • 'Scribes' - a new club for Key Stage 4 students

    Published 09/12/22

    ‘Scribes’ is a brand-new creative writing club for Key Stage 4 students. Club members will work on crafting submissions for some of the fantastic poetry and prose competitions on offer locally and nationwide. Through creating their entries, members will develop their writing skills and benefit from giving and receiving constructive feedback in our fortnightly workshops.

    Here are a few of the competitions we have our eye on this term:

    • Shepton Mallet Snowdrop Festival Poetry Competition – Theme: Let Nature Thrive
    • Young Writers Integer Prose Competition – Theme: Inspired by Numbers – 100word short story
    • Young Poets Network Song Lyric Writing Challenge – Theme: Identity – winning poems will get the chance to turn their poems into songs with professional composers!

    One of our Scribes has already submitted to the ‘East Ridings Festival of Words Poetry Competition’ with the theme ‘My Wonderful World’; you can see Chiara’s emotive entry below.

    Ms A Natley

    Teacher of English

    All KS4 students are welcome to join Scribes – see Ms Natley for more details.
