Boston's Staniland Primary School during a Celebration of Poetry afternoon. The event followed success for the school in a regional poetry competition run by Peterborough's Young Writers group. Some 49 entries had been selection for publication in an anthology called Up, Up and Away. Pupils are pictured with local resident Freda Barty, who inspired some of the poems by sharing stories with pupils of her time as a member of the Women's Land Army. Also pictured (from left) are: Karen Lawson, chairman of governors, Peter Long, headteacher, Sarah Andrew and Lucy Jeacock, from the Young Writers group, and Amanda Ward, the school's literacy coordinator.
