The Annual Poetry Slam Sparks Creativity
October 2, 2025
Pupils from Lower Four to Upper Six gathered for a vibrant Poetry Slam in the Undercroft Library on National Poetry Day, showcasing an impressive range of talent and creativity. Performances included original works, from extended narratives to short, sharp pieces, alongside “found” poetry created from a page of a dictionary, classic verse by Christina Rossetti, some humorous contributions, as well as rap performances.
The audience was thoroughly engaged, responding warmly to readings that were by turns witty, moving, thought-provoking and highly original.
Among the standout performers were a former Poetry By Heart Best in County winner* and another prize-winning poet - watch this space for more on this. It was an inspiring occasion, and a memorable celebration of poetry in all its forms.
