Sixteen-year-old Haileybury pupil, George Fuest, recently won The London Lens photographic competition organised by the Anne Frank Trust (AFT).
George entered after finding out about the competition on the Internet. The brief was to take a photo of London or in London and his “Escalator” image was judged to be the best out of more than 300 entries by a panel including a representative from The Royal Photographic Society, two representatives from Olympus, and two from the AFT.

The prize was an Olympus U 1050 SW worth £260 and a portfolio of the Royal Photographic Society which he was presented with during an evening event at the Camden Roundhouse.

November 6, 2008 on 3:55 pm | In 2009/2010-SPORT, Worcestershire

12 year old Bromsgrove Preparatory School pupil Henrietta Horsley-Gubbins and her pony Rhoson Loire are through to the Horse of the Year Show at the NEC on 7th-9th October. Qualifying for the show is a dream come true for Henrietta and even more impressive is the fact that out of 40 entries at the qualifier, only one gets to go through. Henrietta is now placed in the top 20 riders in the UK. This is a fantastic achievement for someone who is still only in Year 8.
