House Poetry Competition

Children’s author and former teacher, Brough Girling spearheaded Readathon’s sponsored read in schools, which began in 1984.  In 2010, the charity Read for Good was established to continue Brough’s work of motivating millions of school children to read for fun through sponsored reads.

All Junior School pupils learnt a springtime poem from memory and recited it to their class. The winners from each House were then entered the final which took place today, 14th March, and the winning House will be announced in Friday's assembly.

Brough is pictured here with a few of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed pupils.
