After the very difficult job of judging, this year’s A Christmas Nightmare short story competition has been won by Erin Winters, 8OP (junior category) and Alana Shields 11IP (senior category) both with the title “A Christmas Nightmare!”

The senior runners up are Chloe Tweedie with “Santa’s Gone Broke” and Lara Foster with “A Christmas Nightmare!”

The junior runners up are Edana Bissett, 8IH with “Little Advents”, Jack Johnson, 9MP with “The Crooked Snowman,” Ada Kweicien 9CP with “A Christmas Break-in” and Darcey Donnelly 9CP with “The “Worst Christmas Ever!”

Congratulations and thank you from the English department for all of the wonderfully clever, funny and truly frightening entries!
