Shell Poetry Competition Congratulations to Aydin Manavar, Apsley, the winner of our “New Beginnings” poetry competition!

New Beginnings by Aydin Manavar A chorus of songbirds in jubilant flight, The warm afternoon light, Each seed that is sown draws courage from earth As life finds a way to rebirth. So dance with the morning Let the joy intertwined with moments so fleeting Here in the silence of dew-kissed embrace New stories awake in this safe space.

New Books! Mr Gormley has been hard at work cataloguing all the new books bought over the summer - and the final totals are now in! On the fiction shelves are 283 new titles, including graphic novels, manga, and foreign languages for beginners; on the non fiction shelves, we’ve added 170 new titles that cover everything from history, politics, and science to sociology, biography, and art!
