Accrington Stanley Community Trust are celebrating National Poetry Day and want our partner schools to join in on the act! We are looking to celebrate our young people and their passion for poetry.
We are hosting a National Poetry Day Competition which will see over 50 schools take part in the challenge! We want you to create your own poem celebrating your teachers and all their hard work! We will have a KS1 and a KS2 entry. The poem can be as long or a little as you want as long as you celebrate how fantastic your teachers are!
We plan to celebrate the winners of each school in a school assembly on National Poetry Day (2nd October 2025). The winners of each school will then go into the final round of judging with the chance to win the overall prize which includes having your poem to appear in an Accrington Stanley Match Day Programme, 2 free tickets to watch Accrington Stanley FC and to have your poem read over the tannoy live at the game!
This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the fantastic work of our young people and helpful inspire different generations.
To enter our competition please send your completed poem, with your name, year group and school to elle.andrews@stanleytrust.co.uk
Thank you and Good Luck!
