    Leeds pupils who have been taking part in a creative writing competition have been awarded for their poetic and literary efforts at a civic ceremony.

    Hundreds of children from primary schools across the city submitted entries into the Arooj creative writing competition, with 26 pupils being short listed as potential winners. The winner in each category was announced today (Tuesday 12 March) at a special ceremony at Leeds Civic Hall.

    The competition, which is in its ninth year, is organised by Leeds City Council’s Learning Improvement team. It is part of a project which aims to increase attainment in pupils of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage and is open to all primary aged pupils in Leeds.

    The Arooj project works closely with 12 primary schools which have the largest populations of these pupils to help close the gap in attainment.
