National Poetry Day 2022 – Winners!

With the view of going out with a bang, I was determined to enjoy some of the children’s work before I left, and so gave myself the task (or rather the pleasure) of judging this year’s National Poetry Day competition. Due to baby Quinn’s swift arrival, and having no hands free since, the results are a little belated, but I am pleased to share with you the top entries for each Upper School year group below.

It was a wonderful way to begin the pause on my time at Belmont and I thank every pupil that entered for their imaginative, creative and personal poems. Please click HERE to read the first, second and third place poems in each year.
