Budding teenage poets from Croydon will be taking to the stage next weekend at an anti-racism festival. Teams from Norbury Manor High School for Girls and Trinity School in Croydon have reached the finals of the youth poetry competition at next Saturday's (July 19) free Respect festival in Hackney, east London.
The Croydon school children will join 15 other competitors aged between 12 and 18 years at the event, organised by London's mayor Ken Livingstone.
