📚 Aspire2 2026 Poetry Competition 📖

We had the absolute BEST day listening to the most wonderful poems and performances from the pupils of the Whitley Schools! ✨

HUGE thank you to all the schools that took part and that were able to accommodated the date change. The event wouldn't be the same without University of Reading hosting us and our amazing judges A.F. Harrold Holly Webb and Alex Baker from a creative writing group held Wokingham Borough Libraries

Until next year! ⭐️

⭐️ We had such a fab morning yesterday running two workshops with the year 5 pupils for their Inspire Week. ⭐️

We talked through what is like working for a charity and then the children had to design their own charity. They had some amazing ideas from helping the homeless, sea turtles and ill babies. 🐢

Thanks for having us and enjoy the rest of this week's activities! 😊
