By Royal Appointment

Huge Congratulations to Jasia Alam, 11BH who has been announced as a prize winner in a prestigious nationwide portrait competition. 

To celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, an exciting nationwide competition was launched.  'Portrait of a Queen' invited every school in Britain to take part and ask their students to paint or draw a portrait of The Queen.  The portraits will be a gift from the country's youth to Her Majesty as a representation of the children's vision of their monarch during her long reign.  A panel of judges including Desmond Shawe-Taylor, Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures and Royal Portrait artist, Nicky Philipps decided upon the winners and Jasia was one of a privileged few.  Her prize is an amazing day out in London when she wil have lunch with other prize winners at the National Portrait Gallery, have a tour of the gallery and be taken to a gallery to see a portrait artist at work.

Inspirational Visit by London Marathon Hero

On 11th March, Claire Lomas gave an inspirational talk to Year 13 Media students and Year 10 students.  Claire is a wheelchair user who was left paralysed from the chest down after a freak horse-riding accident.  Her zest for life and determination never to give up were illustrated by her use of a special bodysuit that restored her ability to walk and allowed her complete the London Marathon last year, despite it taking her 17 gruelling days!  Claire is soon to begin her next venture - cycling around Britain raising money for spinal research.  The students were left with a clear message from Claire to follow their dreams and never give up.  Year 10 students were so inspired by Claire's visit that they intend to raise funds for spinal research and the Nicholls Foundation.
