Eastbrook students have been writing letters to Prime Minister Boris Johnson with their suggestions for tackling knife crime in Barking and Dagenham.

The letters were part of a borough-wide competition, with all schools in Barking and Dagenham invited to participate.

We had many excellent entries but unfortunately were only allowed to submit a limited number.

Congratulations to the following students who made the short-list:

Wanissa Alloune (Year 7)

Nicole Kalfas (Year 7)

Renee Lewis-Francois (Year 7)

Rahat Hafiz (Year 7)

Chloe Conway (Year 7)

Hasan Karagandere (Year 8)

Raquel Mendes (Year 8)

Ejiro Erinigho (Year 8)

Have a read through and enjoy – I’m sure the overall winner will be amongst them.

Miss Pearson
