Poppy-Mei enters the Young Walter Scott Competition

All students at Sutton High were invited to enter a competition to win the Young Walter Scott Prize.  It is the only creative writing prize in the UK for budding historical novelists.  Students had to plan and write a story that is “set in a time before the writer was born”.  Poppy-Mei S from Year 8 entered.  If she wins, a £500 travel grant and invitation to the Borders Book Festival in Scotland will be awarded.  Three students from Year 9 – Nhyira A, Ira N and Riya J also submitted entries.
