Pupils from the Richmond-based Falcons Preparatory School for Boys have triumphed at a highly competitive poetry competition.
The event saw four pupils from the Kew Foot Road located school, Callum S (12), Sean D (11), Tristan D (9) and former pupil Alex W (12) commended for their efforts in The Chiswick Young People’s Poetry Competition.
The talented boys had their work placed proudly on display in the ceremony marquee, with each prize winner receiving a certificate and winners goodie bag. The triumphant pupils were also honoured in a school assembly with a ‘Poetry Award’ badge to wear all year as poet laureates.
Head of English and Upper School Manager Ellie Challis, commented: “In the summer term of 2017 all of the Falcons boys in Years 3-7 were invited to enter this established competition; the boys were free to write on any topic and in any poetic style. We were dazzled with a huge array of entries which were then subject to the critical eye of the poetry competition judging panel.”
“We were very proud to announce four winners this year. The boys all wrote very original pieces and were hard working and inspired to write about topics important to them. The competition was set as a homework task and we are delighted that the boys took time out of school to write such impressive poems. Poetry study and appreciation is very much encouraged in our English Department across all year groups and we are always impressed with how much the boys enjoy poetry.”
