All the students showcased their exceptional spelling skills, creating an atmosphere of excitement and tension. The competition featured a variety of words, from challenging ones like "awkward" to more complex terms such as "substantiality."

Leading up to the final showdown, each Year 7 English class conducted intense heats, with the winners advancing to compete for the ultimate title.

This year, the semi-finals and finals were particularly engaging, with the students in the audience able to have a go at spelling every word on their mini-whiteboards. Several students mentioned how much they enjoyed being able to participate in each round. 

Miss Unsworth said, “It was lovely to see so many Year 7 students taking part. We’re very proud of their excellent level of spelling. A huge congratulations to Bruno - our runner up - and Judith, our winner.”
