Pupils from Fearnhill School in Letchworth have had their poems selected for a special book celebrating the coronation of King Charles.

Year 7 pupils took part in a national poetry writing competition run by the Young Writer's organisation, with winning submissions to be included in A Kingdom Of Words - Writing fit for a King.

Ben Fox, an English teacher at Fearnhill, said: “We are overjoyed that, out of the tens of thousands of entries, 17 Fearnhill students had their poetry selected to be published in the anthology.

"A copy will be sent to us at Fearnhill, one copy will be sent to The British Library archives, and a third will be sent to King Charles III himself!

“We are all very proud that our King will read the work of Fearnhill students, and that our students are recognised to be gifted young poets who are some of the best in the country.”
