The winners have been announced: Grace S, Mae L and Sophia S each take first place for last year’s entries in Years 7, 8 and 9, respectively.

Every student in Years 7, 8 and 9 was set a writing task in each of four subjects: Classics, Geography, History and Religious Studies. Once the completed tasks were returned by their subject teachers, students then had the Easter break to select which of those four they believed to be their best. This work was then submitted to their English teacher, who selected the best entry from each class. Finally, the English Department chose an overall winner for each year group.

This is the reason why we set our own unique and stretching challenge with the annual Putney High School Creative Writing Competition.
