Robyn Chambers, Lillian Cooper and Lily Collins in Year 8 took part in the semi-finals of the SlamJam Poetry Competition in Sheffield last week. The girls were absolutely brilliant, competing against 45 other students from the region. They were the youngest there and stood out as some of the best performers.
The SlamJam organisers said in a tweet “So many powerful writers, performing their work with passion – congratulations to everyone involved. Bring on the Final!”
Mr Rinaldi and Mrs Wright accompanied them and have everything crossed as they wait to hear whether the girls have made the final. Both teachers are incredibly proud of how well Robyn, Lillian and lily performed. Great job girls and well done to the girls for representing Barlby High School with such literary prowess.

Look at the goodies that staff (and one of my Year 9s!) have donated to Black Cat Rescue in North Duffield! Still time to contribute if you want to add to the food appeal! @Barlby_High pic.twitter.com/Mmjm…
Well done to all students involved in the 1st Peer Reading session today. It was lovely to see our YR10 mentors meet their YR7 readers, getting to know each other, helping to choose books & by the end of the session the group had read 98 pages. @Barlby_English @Barlby_High pic.twitter.com/as0V…
