We are thrilled to announce that one of our outstanding students, Luke R, has achieved remarkable success in the A-Level Spanish & Portuguese Writing Competition 2023, organised by the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at King's College London. This prestigious competition is open to Year 12 and Year 13 students across the UK and encourages young writers to explore their creativity and linguistic prowess. The theme for this year’s competition was "Parallel Universes," challenging participants to craft an original piece of writing in Spanish or Portuguese. The story had to unfold in an alternate city located in Portugal, Spain, or any Latin American country. Entries were evaluated based on both the richness of their content and the sophistication of their language. Luke's winning submission stood out for its imaginative take on the concept of parallel universes. His story, written in Spanish, delves into a vividly constructed alternate world, capturing the judges' attention with its originality and linguistic excellence. Luke's success is a testament to his dedication to mastering the Spanish language and his talent for storytelling. As the author of the winning entry, Luke has been awarded a book token and the honour of having his story published in Sobremesa, the Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan language magazine produced by students at King's College London. Sobremesa enjoys a wide readership among university students and language enthusiasts throughout the UK, making this an incredible achievement for Luke and a proud moment for our school. We encourage everyone to read Luke’s captivating story Neustro Cielo (Our Sky) and delve into the parallel universe he has vividly brought to life. You can view both the original Spanish version and the translated English version below.
