Head Girl and Y13 student Hannah Leyland has reached the finals of the prestigious Frank Moran Young Writers Competition.

This competition, now in its 15th year, is an annual writing award, held by the Athenaeum, in partnership with the Liverpool Echo & Radio Merseyside. It is the premier North West writing competition for young people.

Hannah and the other finalists have been invited to attend a reception at the Athenaeum, Liverpool this month. The Athenaeum was founded in 1797 to provide a meeting place where ideas and information can be exchanged in pleasant surroundings. The heart of the Athenaeum is its famous library, one of the greatest proprietary libraries in the United Kingdom.

We congratulate Hannah for reaching this stage in the competition and wish her well in the next stage.
