Youth Action Alliance Pupils Publish Poetry Book

All Saints Catholic College • February 25, 2026

Current Y10 YAA Pupils pictured above when they were in Y7 showing a great commitment over the last four years.All Saints Catholic College is delighted to share that poetry written by our Youth Action Alliance students in Years 9 and 10 has been published in a new book titled Dip Your Pen Into Your Heart.

Following a poetry workshop they attended with the Youth Action Alliance, led by Patricia Moorhead, students met on Fridays after school throughout last year to develop their work. The project aimed to amplify young people’s voices and ensure that the voices of children and young people remain at the heart of everything we do for those who live, work, or study in RBKC.

The workshops provided a creative outlet for self-expression, encouraging reflection, self-awareness, and empathy. This publication is the culmination of the students’ commitment, creativity, and collaboration. Each pupil whose work was included has received a copy of the book to share with their families.

We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the powerful voices they have developed through this inspiring project.
