Children from Doncaster Primary Schools have continued to respond enthusiastically to a Story Competition for key stage 2 pupils organised annually by the Doncaster Book Award in partnership with the Rotary Club of Doncaster St Leger which attracted almost 200 entries from schools this year.

The local Doncaster winner was Tatiana Bujor of the Bessacarr Primary School who was presented with her Doncaster Story Competition Award on 20th March 2015.

The successful top stories were entered into the District Literacy Competition which covers 48 Rotary Clubs in South Yorkshire, Humberside, and Lincolnshire. For the second year running the District winner was again Tatiana, a quite unique double triumph for her and the school. Tatiana will be presented with the District prize at a later date.

As the winning local school, Bessacarr Primary was rewarded with a visit on the day by Emily Diamand - author of Ways to See a Ghost who made a presentation to a whole school assembly and then did workshops with children in Years 5 and 6.
