All Saints’ students perform at Cheltenham Literature Festival
By Mr Fredrickson Teacher of English
Students that took part in the Cheltenham Festival’s First Story project had the opportunity to read their published poems at this year’s Cheltenham Literature Festival on Friday 10th October. Megan Roberts, Jessica Knight, Bethany Halford and Katie Cotton-Betteridge all did the school incredibly proud. Our students performed alongside a few other schools who had also taken part in the project. Up to 50 of our students had enormous fun writing poetry during the last academic
year for ‘Some of these things are true’ - All Saints’ Academy’s very own anthology! The cover was professionally designed and selected by our students from a number of submissions. Students from the Academy who are taking part in the Cheltenham Festival’s First Story project this year also attended the event to watch and be inspired by our budding poets. Sam Knight commented that “the whole occasion has given me confidence.” “An inspirational afternoon,” pronounced Serena Pepa. The calibre of written expression that our students achieve in this project is breathtakingly good. We have a rich seam of verbal wizardry at our Academy. The whole experience has en-
riched many of our students’ experiences of the best that education can bring.
‘The quality of the work that has come out of the project has been breathtaking. The standard of work is so high, it excites me to think we have that level of creativity and talent in the Academy. We have found the whole experience to be extremely enriching.’ Mr Nicklin Assistant Vice Principal
