Congratulations to Lower Sixth pupil Amy for receiving a commendation for her Spanish entry to the Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators 2022.

The competition is inspired by the life and work of the great translator Anthea Bell. It aims to promote language learning across the UK and to inspire creativity in the classroom.

Teachers from all over the UK submitted their students’ translations of poetry, fiction and non-fiction in French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Spanish, covering all year groups at secondary school from age 11 to 18.  Over 3,200 entries from more than 260 schools were submitted, with a team of undergraduates and professional translators judging entries.

Well done to Amy. This is a fantastic achievement given the number and standard of entries received this year.
