More than 100 young artists shine at Stockport Grammar Art Compet tio


This year Stockport Grammar School’s Year Five Art Competition welcomed 113 entries from young artists from 16 local primary schools. Sponsored by Brewin Dolphin and based around the theme of ‘self- portrait’, the young entrants showed off their creativity and imagination with a wide range of final pieces that included 2D and 3D artwork. Artists and their families visited Stockport Grammar School for an exhibition evening which showcased their work.


Lukas Schwarzmayr of Gorsey Bank Primary School won the competition with an eye catching self-portrait with fantastic shaded detail created in a collage style.

Geraint Davies, who is co-chair of the APPG on Speech and Language, said: “There is nearly one and a half million young people who are being denied the support that is vital for their success and positive education and life outcomes. By improving just five key areas we can provide the support these young people need to give them a bright future. “We know that children and young people with unsupported speech, language and communication needs are mor e likely to be excluded from school or in the justice system than their peers, so we need a holistic and joint up approach that stretches across education, health and social and justice systems.


“The government has said it is focused on improving young people’s health and welfare and so should now commit the necessary resources to make this possible.”
