Our 2025 ‘Poet of the Year’

Over the past month, we’ve held our second annual poetry competition jointly with King Edwards School, Birmingham, UK. This year, the theme was ‘dreams‘.

Once again, we judged the King Edwards’ students entries and our colleagues in Birmingham judged our learners’ entries.

This year, the KES staff selected Tembo Christopher, in Grade 11, as our overall winner – and he was presented with his prize by Ms Mwanamwambwa and Ms Sakuwaha.

Here is Tembo’s prize-winning poem.
