Well done to every young person who recently took part in our Poetry & Art Contest. The submissions were of an exceptionally high standard in all categories (4-7s, 8-11s, 12-15s & 16-19s) and we needed seven judges to assess the anonymised works, for 1st and 2nd places! Where there was a tie break for the winning place, runners up votes were used to decide. By doing this clear results were established in all the categories! So here are the winners and runners up:
