📣 Your Words, Your Power! Introducing a National Poetry Competition! 📣
We're incredibly excited to share the launch of ‘The Power of Words,’ a national children’s poetry competition created by Words Matter and First News . This isn't just about writing; it's about giving children a platform to express how words shape them.
Following the impactful new film released this month (featuring 13-year-old Ethan bringing Tally Gilbert’s poignant poem to life!), First news are inviting children to share their unique perspectives.
They want to hear poems that explore the power of words from the adults in their lives. How do those words make them feel – confident, happy, seen, or perhaps sad, anxious, or isolated? This is a chance to truly show that #WordsMatter.
Encourage the young writers in your life to get involved!

Huge Congratulations, Frankie!🏔️👏
We're incredibly proud to celebrate Paxman Academy's very own Frankie in Year 9, who has successfully completed the challenging Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge!
This is an absolutely phenomenal achievement, demonstrating incredible dedication, perseverance, and physical endurance. Taking on Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, all within 12 hours, is no easy feat, and Frankie has tackled them all with incredible spirit!
What an inspiration! Well done, Frankie, on this truly outstanding accomplishment right here in Yorkshire!

We had an amazing time Wednesday as we welcomed author Lisa Wakely to Paxman Academy. She led two fantastic creative writing workshops, and our students were absolutely brilliant! ✍️ Their enthusiasm and engagement were infectious, and it was a joy to see their creativity flowing. A huge thank you to Lisa for inspiring our young writers! 👏
