Pupils from Buckinghamshire impressed with their art skills in an annual competition. 

Students from Amersham and the surrounding area took part in the annual Young Artist and Young Photographer competitions organise by Rotary Great Britain and Ireland.

Pipers Corner School, St Mary's Old Amersham, Beacon School, Misbourne School, Our Lady's Chesham Bois, Stony Dean School and Woodside participated this year with “amazing contributions” in the local round organised by the Rotary Club of Amersham. 

Spokesperson for Rotary Amersham Peter McLoughlin said: “The response from local schools is always very positive and the quality of contribution amazing.

“What never fails to excite me is that whether in art, music cookery or photography there is so much talent and enthusiasm.

“The various Rotary Competitions give children of all ages an opportunity to showcase their talents across a wide range of activities.”

This included The Beacon School with four Young Artist and Photography winners in the local heat. Maxwell took the first place in Intermediate Art, followed by Isaac, Dexter and Charlie.

Now the Rotary Team are visiting seven local schools to present the young artists with their certificates.

Winners of the local heats for both the Young Artist and Young Photographers Competitions will also receive John Lewis gift vouchers.

Six age specific local winning entries have now been entered into the District heats due to take place in early April.
