National Poetry Day at Clifton College!

We celebrated National Poetry Day in style with the Percival Poetry Party, which featured original and admired writing, including a feminist reflection on Wendy Darling, tender love poems, everyday irritations, Tennyson, rabbits and AI generated poetry on nuclear catastrophe. 

Pupils in Year 9 watched and discussed a specially curated selection of poetry featuring Black British poets Maureen Onwunali, Caleb Femi and George the Poet. They also received Percival Poetry Packs, which included poetry themed bookmarks, Party Rings and details of a competition inspired by Deanna Rodger’s visit to Clifton.
