OAKFIELD Academy’s Ted Lewis-Clark, aged 11 has received his prize of a cheque for £1,000 for his winning entry in the national Royal Mail Christmas stamp design competition.
Ted’s winning artwork will appear on the Royal Mail’s First Class Christmas stamps, which will be out next month.
Ted’s prize-winning cheque was presented by headteacher, Emma Wilkes, at a KS3 assembly, attended by Ted’s proud parents. There was a collective gasp from the pupils when they were told the amount of cash he had won, and that he is meeting Prince Charles later this month for his award. Everybody is hoping that his appearance scheduled for a ‘Good Morning Britain’ slot also takes place.
Oakfield’s Academy’s art department also received a cheque for £1,000
