The UK’s biggest children’s story writing competition will be open for entries on Tuesday 24 September from 8am.

There will be two age categories: 5-7 and 8-11 year-olds. All children need to do is write a story they would love to read in 500 Words or less. The closing date for entries is Friday 8th November at 9pm and entries can be submitted by parents online

We would love children of all abilities to enter; spelling, punctuation and grammar are not marked – it’s all about creativity!

To support this we will also be holding our own 500 word story competition in school with a small prize for each year group. Finished stories should be handed in to Mrs Haffey by Monday 4th November.
