We are delighted to congratulate Molly F-P (Yr5), whose poem, A Land of Fairytale, has been highly commended in the Junior category of the GDST Laurie Magnus Poetry Prize. The prize was established in memory of Laurie Magnus by his widow, and GDST schools and academies submit one poem for each of the three age categories. Over the summer, the poems submitted were judged by South Hampstead High School alumna Allie Esiri, the creator of If Poems, an educational poetry app for children of all ages, and the editor of The Love Book, which is both a literary app and a book of best-loved poems, quotations and letters on the theme of love. Well done, Molly, we look forward to hearing more of your poems soon!
