National Poetry Day 2026

Last month, Prep pupils put pen to paper in celebration of National Poetry Day, writing their own poetry as part of a school-wide competition. Taking inspiration from this year’s theme of ‘wonder’, pupils produced thoughtful poems about the world around them.

With 90 fantastic entries, choosing the winning poems took plenty of consideration, and Mrs Earnshaw and Mrs Hornby were delighted to reveal this year’s winners in a special assembly today.

Westholme’s winning poets were given a special certificate and prize to commemorate their beautiful verses, with their poems going on display shortly for everyone in Prep to enjoy.

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part, and especially to our overall winners! Well done Aahil, Fatimah Zahra and Zidan for your wonderful poetry.
