A school for children with severe learning difficulties has won a poet for a week.

Penhurst School in Chipping Norton has scooped first prize in a poetry competition organised by ChildLine, the UK's free 24-hour telephone helpline for children in trouble or danger.

Penhurst used sounds and props to illustrate poems.

Julie Ward, who has pioneered creative projects for children in special needs education, will run workships at the school next week.
