Ashton Park School is honoured and proud to share the winners of its very first ‘Ashton Park School Poetry Slam’, with Mr Bittles received over 60 entries of original work from Years 7 to 9! Mrs Tillett and Kat Lyons (a Bristol City poet) listened to the talented finalists recite their poems and gave feedback to each student – all of which were incredibly good.

After a long deliberation they announced that the winners are as follows –

Written pieces:

1st Place 400 points Tilly Apollo House

2nd Place 300 points Bea Athena House

3rd Place 200 points Reuben Achilles House

Poetry Slam:

1st Place 400 points Alice Apollo House

2nd Place 300 points Rudi and Lois Apollo House

3rd Place 200 points Bella and Maija Achilles & Athena Houses

Well done to everyone involved. 

Inspirational Speaker

 Ashton Park was also thrilled to host the inspirational Ellise Hollie-Hayward at its school. Ellise delivered assemblies to all of the students on her life journey so far and how she overcomes obstacles relating to her cerebral palsy.
