PUPILS and staff at staff at ten schools in York and North Yorkshire have embraced their inner poets. Hundreds and pupils and staff got involved with a poetry competition which looked forward to life after lockdown – with all proceeds from the sale of a poetry book publishing their efforts going to children’s charity the NSPCC. The ten Ebor Academy Trust school which took part include York primary schools Hob Moor, Lakeside, Osbaldwick, Park Grove and Robert Wilkinson, plus schools in Camblesforth, Tadcaster, Brotherton, Hull and Scarborough. Winners and runners-up collected book token prizes and their poems printed in a special book.
