Inspire Essay Competition
"It is a great pleasure to collate Inspire Essay Competition entries from both 2023 and 2024 into a bumper edition, showcasing the range of interests, depth of research, and passion for ideas that our prize-winners have displayed in such abundance. As ever, pupils in Key Stage 3 were asked simply to choose a topic that interested them, investigate it independently, and write up their findings in essay form. The essays printed in these pages represent fewer than a third of those that were submitted. They were chosen for the quality of research, depth of analysis, standard of essay composition and originality of ideas.
"Our wonderful Inspire Programme continues to support pupils towards creative thinking, independent ideas and curiosity about the world. I hope that reading these essays showcases these qualities in action."
Dr P Seal - Deputy Head (Academic)
