This competition encourages pupils to use their creativity and imagination to write a story that they would love to read. We were absolutely delighted to hear that several of our pupils have made it through to the next stage of the competition: \- 'The Fairies Apology' by Penelope \- 'What happened to Tutankhamun's Daughter?' by Grace \- 'The King' by Ellison \- 'The Space Dream that came to Life' by Lucas Congratulations to you all and well done to everyone who submitted an entry! **Tags:** [infantsandjuniors](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/infantsandjuniors) [2023-2024](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2023-2024) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2024-01-08-sports-review-of-the-autumn-term) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2024-01-15-sports-news) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
