Alumna Sarah Howe (m. 2001, previous Levy Plumb Studentship holder) has won an Eric Gregory Award for her poetry. The awards are an annual prize for the best young poets in the UK.

Now celebrating fifty famous years, the Eric Gregory Awards 2010 went to five young poets under 30, Phil Brown, Matthew Gregory, Sarah Howe, Abigail Parry and Ahren Warner. The five join a prestigious list of 267 poets, which includes Geoffrey Hill (1961), Tom Paulin (1976), Carol Ann Duffy (1984), and this year’s Somerset Maugham winner Jacob Polley (2002).

Our very own Helen Mort (m.2004) also won this prize in 2007 - so we are starting a Christ's tradition!
