In their Design Technology lessons every Junior girl has produced a design for a sail for a 10-metre high sailing mast and the best two have been entered into a Sail Art Competition with the prize being the honour of having their designs enlarged and painted onto actual sails, to be raced by Olympic sailors at the Royal Victoria Dock, London in January 2014.

The theme they had to design for was ‘Legends of the Sea', the ‘Wind' and the ‘Oceans'. The winning entries were an abstract interpretation of sea urchins and an interesting take on the sea depicting a wind farms.

Head of DT, Mrs Fabiola Cotton, said: "The designs were all fantastic – so fantastic that we had to call in an unbiased panel of judges to make the final decisions."
