East Suffolk Classics Competition
Woodbridge School is delighted to announce that we have launched a new Classics Competition for schools in East Suffolk!
The aim of the competition is for students to tell the story of Boudicca through art or a dramatic reinterpretation. Boudicca was the famous Queen of the Iceni, the tribe which ruled much of Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
How does the competition work?
The competition is open to children and small teams in Years 5 to 8, and there are two age categories:
- Years 5 to 6
- Years 7 to 8
Students may work together in teams of two, three or four, or may enter as an individual.
There are three competition strands:
- Drawing or Painting – Including pencils, oil or chalk pastels, watercolour, acrylic or oil paint
- Other Artistic Media – For example sculpture, mosaic, textiles
- Drama – Filmed performance (maximum of six minutes)
Students may enter one of the three strands, and mustn’t enter twice as part of two teams. AI is not to be used in any way in the creation of entries.
Schools may enter various teams across the different strands. For example, three teams of Year 5 might enter a Drawing, alongside two teams of Year 5 for Drama, three Year 6 teams for Other Artistic Media and one Year 6 team for Drama.
What is the deadline?
The deadline for entries is Wednesday 4 June 2025.
How do you submit an entry?
All entries should be submitted to: classicscompetition@woodbridgeschool.org.uk ahead of the deadline. Any questions can also be submitted via this email address.
How are the entries judged?
Our Head of Classics, Miss Wright, will be judging the entries. We will be in touch to confirm next steps.
Good luck to all who take part!
