A Year 9 Cromwell College student has come second in the junior section of a national poetry competition.
Katie Anne Ley was taking part in the Resilienz Love Letter to the World poetry competition 2026 and was praised for her poem, A Love Letter to Colours.
The judges said: “A Love Letter to Colours presents an alliterative, abstract commentary on the power of colour to inspire wonder and connectedness to a larger whole.
"It poses the idea that colours are more than what we see and have the power to remind us of the beauty we too often overlook."
