"A brilliant day enjoyed by all. The competition was a great success and some good work was produced. Have recommended Eleanor to other schools"
Rock Ferry High School
"A successful afternoon! Elly wasn't afraid to use really challenging poems with
the group, and this paid off - they asked perceptive, interesting questions and made
good use of what they learnt when writing themselves."
Jean Sprackland, Education Officer, The Poetry Society.
