English design competition marks the page for key stage 9 pupils

Year 9 Kacper will see his imaginative design transformed into Priory’s 2024 bookmark for all Key Stage 3 pupils and the new pupils coming to Priory in September.  

The English department hold the competition every year for pupils to design a bookmark.  

Assistant Head of English, Miss Hearn, said this year’s competition was important as the winning bookmark was going to be produced on a bigger scale than previously. 

“We know Priory has done the bookmark competition in the past and we have revived it on a bigger scale. 

“Not only will the winning design be printed and given out to Key Stage 3 pupils, it will be available in the library to pick up and will also be given to new pupils starting next September. 

“Mr Eastham chose Kacper’s design because it was beautifully drawn but also had the Priory logo on it so it was the perfect bookmark for Priory. 

“It was a tough selection as we had around 150 entries.” 

Kacper said: “I like to draw so I just used my imagination. I did mosaics at the bottom, books in the middle then copied the Priory logo for the top. I was pleased with how it worked out.  

“Drawing is just a hobby although I do enjoy Art but I was surprised I had won. I will be proud when I see them.”
