Wimbledon BookFest – Young Writers Competition 2020

A big congratulations to Adam and Catherine in Ospreys who have been shortlisted by Pelham and entered to represent our school in the upper key stage two category of the Wimbledon BookFest Young Writers Competition. 

I know that Ms. Ruthven had a really tough time choosing the shortlist from all the entrants, so well-done for making the cut. As we know, this year’s theme is The Secret and you can read Catherine’s short story and Adam’s poem by clicking on the links below:

As always, your feedback on the writing is highly encouraged.
