English Department hosts short story competition for D pupils

The short story competition has become an annual event in the D calendar and Bryanston’s Librarian Mrs Minter and Head of English Mrs Weatherby, had the pleasure of reading and judging the entries from each class. 

This year, Teacher of English Miss Page arranged for all D English sets to base their story around a chosen image (below) or to use the following line as the first sentence of their story: ‘The same story, all over again.’

The entries for the short story competition were imaginative, topical and entertaining. The winners received certificates and prizes, and met Headmaster Mark Mortimer in recognition for their outstanding short stories.

Congratulations to all the pupils who took part in the competition. The winners have now been announced:

• 1^st prize ‘How it went wrong’ by Imogen C
• 2^nd Prize ‘The same story, all over again’ by Jack O
• 3^rd Prize ‘As I drove up to the Dairy Queen’ by Tilly V

Highly commended:

• ‘Backpack’ by Bea O
• ‘Blue Lights’ by Ellen Y
• ‘What it all meant’ by Peggy D
• ‘The boring protest’ by Florence O
