A huge congratulations to Samir A (Year8), Ibrahim S (Year8), Deelan A (Year 10) and Ibraheem H (Year 8), whose creative writing has earned them the exciting opportunity to become published poets!
Following their participation in the nationwide Young Writers Unite Poetry Competition (held in celebration of the National Year of Reading 2026), their original poems have been chosen to feature in the anthology Unite – Where The Fracture Heals, set to be published on 11th January 2027. Not only will their work be read across the country, but a copy of the anthology will also be preserved permanently in the British Library.
Our students have already been awarded certificates and bookmarks to mark this milestone, and their published pieces will also be in the running for national student prizes next term. A huge thank you to Mr. A. Ali and the English department for inspiring and supporting our students' love for writing.
Note to Parents of Selected Students: Please remember to complete the free online permission form using the details on your individual letter by 15th November 2026 so your son’s poem can go to print.
Keep up the fantastic writing, boys!
