THE voice of Peppa Pig and Great Kingshill pupil, Harley Riley, has been nominated for a children's BAFTA.

The nine-year-old actress and Year 5 pupil at Pipers Corner School has been nominated in the Performer category for her work as the voice of Peppa in the children's animated series, Peppa Pig.

She has been the voice of the famous pig for the last three and a half years and done a variety of other television work.

This is not the first time she has been recognised for her achievements, having won the Audience Award at the 2010 San Jose Short Film Festival for her lead role in a short film called Blueberry.

The children's BAFTAs recognise and reward excellence in children's entertainment.

In her category Harley is up against three other well known names including Daniel Roche, who plays Ben in Outnumbered and has been nominated for his performance in the title role of Just William.

The awards ceremony is on Sunday, November 27 at the London Hilton.

Harley’s younger sister, Olivia, who is in Year 1 at Pipers Corner, is soon to star in the new series of BBC sitcom Rev, alongside actors Tom Hollander and Olivia Colman. The series is due to air later this autumn .

Headmistress Helen Ness-Gifford said: “We are all tremendously excited and proud of Harley and will be keeping our fingers crossed for her on the night of the ceremony.

"It is always wonderful to see girls like Harley and Olivia develop their talents both in and out of school. At Pipers we encourage all girls to make the most of their unique talents.”
