John Wheeldon Primary Academy pupil wins Stafford MP's Christmas card competition
John Wheeldon Primary Academy took part in Leigh Ingham MP's Christmas card competition, whereby, children were asked to send in a photo or drawing of their furry friend looking festive. The competition was open to all primary school aged children across the Stafford constituency.
Fourteen pupils entered the competition and we are beyond excited and proud to share that two of our children were successful in winning the 1st and 2nd place. 2nd place was awarded to Anastasia in Year 5 who drew a very festive picture of an owl and 1st place was awarded to Calvin in Year 4 who drew a picture of a Christmas penguin.
We had the pleasure of having Leigh Ingham joining us in our celebration assembly on Friday, December 5, to award Anastasia and Calvin with their certificates, winning card design and personalised letters.
These designs will be featured in Leigh's official 2025 Christmas card, sent out across the constituency, in Parliament and entered into the Speaker's National competition.
Due to the fantastic response that we had to this competition, we were also invited to decorate Leigh's Christmas tree. This is now proudly on display at St Mary's church in Stafford, as part of their Christmas Tree Festival.
