Our Year 7 pupils took part in the annual Poetry By Heart competition at the end of March, with the Poetry By Heart team joining us to record the event, having selected Sir Thomas Rich’s to be just one of nine schools in the country to be filmed. This is an incredible honour, as hundreds of schools take part every year. The three finalists were Abinav in 7R and Aarush and Anders in 7C, who now go on to the next stages. The boys were filmed performing the poems Mr Kartoffel, Daffodils and Jabberwocky and their entries are now with Poetry By Heart for judging. If they are selected to go forward to the final, they will get to perform their poem at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London in the Summer Term.
