Rookwood School had a fantastic evening at this year’s Rotary ‘Young Writer’ presentation, held at Andover’s Guildhall. With 28 outstanding creative writing entries submitted, we were thrilled to have five students selected as finalists – a remarkable achievement!
The competition, which invited students to craft poetry or prose around the theme of ‘Wonderful Water’, saw some truly imaginative and evocative pieces. Congratulations to all students who participated, and a special well done to our finalists and winners:
