Named in honour of Old Harrovian Lord Byron — one of the greatest English poets and a defining figure of the Romantic movement — this prize celebrates the literary heritage that connects our students in the mountains of Appi Kogen to more than four centuries of Harrow tradition.

Led by our English Department, students across the school were invited to craft an original piece of creative writing, with entries read aloud in assembly before the whole school community. It was a wonderful celebration of imagination, courage and craft — qualities we believe every young writer deserves the stage to share.

Creative expression sits at the heart of a Harrow Appi education. For students aged 11 to 18, opportunities such as this build not only literary skill, but the confidence, voice and love of language that will serve them throughout their academic journeys and far beyond.

Congratulations once again to our three winners: Marissa L, Pebble I, Karen L.
