Last month, Year 7 pupils were set a challenge to build their own Motte and Bailey Castle with whatever resources they could get their hands on at home.

Last week's deadline saw some fantastic entries and organiser of the competition, Humanities teacher Miss Ackers, had the most difficult time selecting a winner.

Miss Ackers commented, "They were all exceptional and I could tell pupils had put a lot of time, research and imagination into them - there was so much detail! The challenge was voluntary so I was also pleased to see the entries come in - the enthusiasm from the year group has amazed me."

It was a tough decision but in the end the winner was: Esa B, and finalists Myles N, Bella O and Kady T will receive a coveted History pin badge, 180 achievement points and chocolates.

Well done to all who took part.
