English Department: Looking Grim!

Once upon a time, far far away, in the glorious land of Handsworth Grammar School, a number of student Knights entered the Young Writers’ mini saga competition entitled: ‘Grim Tales’. Thousands of entries were received throughout the land of the United Kingdom but only a select number of entries would be published. Work was selected for publication based on students’ imagination, perception and creative use of language. The School was therefore delighted that 33 shining Knights’ entries were chosen for publication; this not only highlighted their creativity, command and flair in the battlefield of writing but also showed what could be achieved when the supreme Masters of Learning, the English Department, nurtured the Knights’ abilities to use their sharp, double edged sword – the pen!

The King of Handsworth Grammar School, His Majesty Mr. Bird, and the rest of the inhabitants, would like to congratulate all the student Knights who participated in the competition, particularly those Knights who had their work published.

Indeed, the pen is mightier than the sword!

Mr. Dubay
