Hillcroft pupil’s grand design scoops art competition prize

A Year Four pupil at Hillcroft Primary in Caterham has bagged her school a £300 prize after winning an art competition run by the local branch of Tesco.

Judges said they chose Jessie Hoey’s design as the winner of the competition to promote the store’s new Click and Collect online shopping service because of its ‘colour, impact, sense of fun and style’.

In addition to the prize Jessie won for the school, she received a £25 Tesco gift card, and her design was printed on 250 reusable jute shopping bags which have been distributed to Hillcroft and are now being sold to raise funds for the school.

“We were delighted and proud to hear Jessie had won,” said head of school John Williams. “It’s a fantastic eye- catching design, so she really deserves her prize, and the fact that the school and so many of the extended school family will also benefit, from the school’s prize
and the bags is just a bonus.”
