A powerful piece of creative writing depicting the pain caused by racist bullying has taken the overall prize in this year’s Arts and Minds awards.
The winning piece – entitled Who Am I? – was written by Rameta Ramanen, a year 7 student from Henrietta Barnett School in north London.
The competition, organised by the NASUWT, uses art and creative writing to encourage students to promote and celebrate racial equality and diversity in our schools.
Guest judge, television presenter Gok Wan, selected Rameta’s piece as the overall winner from among the 13 finalists in this year’s competition. The 12-year-old also won the individual secondary creative writing award.
