Over the next few days we will be posting the winning entries of our National Poetry Competition. Please leave comments for the pupils below. Congratulations to all of our winners and their schools! Today’s winners are both from St Clare’s Primary School in Glasgow.

My Catholic School
The thing about a Catholic school
It’s not a place to break a rule
It’s a school of respect and care
And all about being fair.
The thing that makes a Catholic school
Is more than just wisdom and following rules
It’s about being respectful, caring and safe
And never giving up on your faith.
We treat our peers with love and care
Because gospel values are everywhere
It’s a safe environment we don’t want to leave,
We’re taught if we believe then we will achieve.
But we can’t forget about Jesus who is at heart
He is always a good place for us to start.
Love and respect, togetherness our rule,
That’s what makes a Catholic School.

My Catholic School
I am in a cool Catholic School.
God is the light.
I look at the cross every day.
The sign of the cross proves that Jesus is real
Don’t forget that Jesus is real.
