This is the fifth annual compilation of Putney High School Creative Writing Competition winners, and the pieces are as captivating, moving and inspiring as when the competition first began.

Last year, every student in Years 7, 8 and 9 was set a writing task in each of three subjects: Classics, 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 three they believed to be their best. The English Department chose an overall winner for each year group.

In this anthology, you will find the class winners for each of the six Year 7, four Year 8 and five Year 9 classes, with the overall winner for each of the three year groups clearly indicated.
