Congratulations to the five amazing Lower 4 (Year 8) historians who had their entries submitted for the Historical Association’s ‘Write Your Own Historical Fiction Competition 2026’!
All of their stories are thrilling reads set in Tudor England, with plots ranging from dealing with the Spanish Armada to Mary Queen of Scots’ plan to escape and kill Queen Elizabeth. They’re true page turners, blending historical knowledge and sharp fiction writing skills, and are now in the running to potentially be chosen as winners at the end of summer!
