CREATIVE pupils have impressed a panel of judges with their ‘egg-cellent’ selection of decorated creations.

Pupils at West Park Academy, Darlington, scrambled to produce a winning entry in the school’s annual competition.

Tasked with creating their work around a sporting theme, pupils produced entries featuring runners, rowers and racing car drivers among a host of designs.

All entries were judged by Father Daman Bage, of St Mary’s Church, Cockerton and Vicki Hollings and Katie Merritt from Hays Travel, Darlington, who provided chocolate Easter eggs and Easter goodie bags for the winners.

“It was so hard to choose just one winner from each class,” said Father Bage. “The amount of work which has gone into some of the designs was exceptional.”

The winning eggs belonged to pupils Riad Albarq, Tilly Gibson, Anya Emmerson, Charlotte Douglas, Jay McMichael, Max Clark, Jennifer Mitchell, Grace Bruce, Charlie Midwood, Audrey Meredith, Carly Farr, Joseph Gayles, Millie Hogg, Alex Atkins, Finley Purchase and Ella Nendick-Brown.
