India is Child Achiever of the Month!

India, aged 9, won Best Sewer at the annual show of The Fashion School of Brighton and we are so impressed by her work that we chose her as the Child Achiever of the Month.

India made the dress she is wearing and, as you can see, she has lined up the stripey material perfectly. Her sewing skills are amazing and she will go far.

Four very proud children!

Four children from years 3 to 6 are all absolutely thrilled and so proud to be winners of the Short Story competition.

Somsuryagni, aged 10, said “My story was inspired by the slum children in Mumbai, India, and I dedicate this win to under-privileged children all over the world, who fight so many difficulties in their everyday lives to survive, and to shine."
