Six Word Story Competition

As part of the First Story writing project at Leeds East Academy, our resident writer Sarah Bradley has been working closely with a small group of students to enhance students' writing skills and promote an enjoyment of writing.

First Story changes lives through writing and brings talented, professional writers into secondary schools across the country, to work with teachers and students to foster creativity and further communication skills.

By helping students find their voices through intensive, fun programmes, First Story raises aspirations and gives students the skills and confidence to achieve them.

Students have taken part in several writing competitions and last week Kirena was short listed for the First Story Six-word story competition:

"Read a story, found a world."

Mr Stokes said in six words: "Congratulations Kirena, for a succinct story!"
