Chesham’s Chartridge Combined School in Buckinghamshire recently took part in Clarks of Amersham’s ‘design our mug’ competition, winning the first prize of £300. The winning student - Lucy Woods from year five - also won a £50 Amazon gift voucher and the mug with her own design on it. The competition was open to all junior schools in the Buckinghamshire area.

Michael Clark, Managing Director of Clarks of Amersham said, “For the last 10 years we have commissioned an artist to produce our special mugs – six in total to date – but this year we wanted to have some fun. We will definitely be running this competition again.”

Lucy had already chosen to spend her voucher on a Kindle, but the school had yet to decide what to buy with its cash prize.
