The Poetry Festival 2022

Events, General, Guests, News, Senior School, Sixth Form

The annual Poetry Festival for 2022 took place on Tuesday 8 February.

The evening provided students with the opportunity to present and perform selected pieces of their work. It is always a real highlight of the events calendar, and this year certainly did not disappoint, the standard of poetry being incredibly high, as ever.

This year our guest judge was the poet Richard Osmond, who expressed great difficulty in coming to a decision on which of the fantastic poems was to be crowned the winner.
