Well done to all the children who wrote a story at home in order to enter this year’s BBC 500 Words competition.

It was a pleasure to submit so many excellent entries on your behalf. Thank you to the parents/carers of those children for encouraging your loved one to ‘have a go’.

While nobody from the school emerged victorious in the national competition this year, we were able to award a £10 National Book Token voucher for what we considered our ‘Top 3’ school entries.  Mohamad, Mianna and Khadijatu were chosen and they can now have a good look around Waterstones or Foyles with £10 to spend. We look forward to next year’s competition already!
