Students at our Ludlow campus have only been at college for six months and already they’re demonstrating what a talented and competitive bunch they are.
Over the past few months, students at our Ludlow campus have been showing off their talents in all sorts of competitions – from poetry to photography and even birdwatching. It’s been incredible to see their passion and dedication in action.
National Poetry Day Competition
One of the highlights was the National Poetry Day Competition, judged by the fantastic poet and author Jan Hedger, who is one of the college’s industry champions. The competition was open to students from all our campuses, and Ludlow students really impressed with their beautiful, creative poems about an Oak Tree:
🏆 First Place – Oak Tree by Tiff. Jan Hedger loved how this poem used movement and language to bring the tree to life – seriously impressive.
🥈 Second Place – Oak Tree by Sol. A beautifully flowing poem with clever repetition and strong imagery – great work.
🌟 Highly Commended – The Oak Tree by Ben. A fascinating story poem exploring the life of a tree through history – well-researched and engaging.
Steps Competition
Students were also champions in the college-wide steps competition. Shout out to our superstars in the Steps Competition:
🏆 First Place – Ben
🥉 Third Place – Conner
World Wildlife Day photography competition
Our talented photographers have been busy snapping away for the World Wildlife Day Photography Competition. We’re eagerly waiting for the results to be announced on 3 March – fingers crossed! 🤞📸
Big Schools Birdwatch
Our students also got stuck into the Big Schools Birdwatch, helping track local bird species and learning loads about conservation. It’s been a great way to connect with nature and appreciate the amazing wildlife around us. 🦉🐦
What’s Coming Up Next?
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Our students are gearing up for Skills Competitions at Gobowen campus. On 28 March, students will be taking part in Horticulture and Hospitality Skills Competitions with colleges from across the UK.
Competitions like these are such an amazing way for our students to grow, challenge themselves, and show off their skills. We’re beyond proud of everything they’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone!
