Somer Valley FM, the local radio station for North East Somerset, based in Midsomer Norton, held a painting competition for their Christmas Cards, with children from the new Norton Hill Primary School.

Station Manager, Richard Burgess, said: “The school got in touch with us after their terrific efforts during lockdown to produce their own clay poppies for poppy day. We were delighted to broadcast how well they had done in raising £175. When we were planning our Christmas Cards, we wanted to involve our local community in the design, so asked if the school would run a painting competition. The Mayor, Lynda Robertson kindly agreed to judge.”

Kerrie Courtier, Executive Headteacher of Norton Hill Primary School explained: “The children were asked to design a Christmas card for Somer Valley FM with ‘Midsomer Norton’ as the theme. When asked what their favourite part of their town was, the children wanted to base their design around the postbox that is in the town centre. There are exciting times ahead for the school, as we officially move to our new school

in Silver Street on 6th January 2021.”
