FORMER art and design students from a North-East school are to have their work displayed in a national exhibition.

Chelsea Bodley and Adam Gibson were in last year's GCSE art and design group at Greenfield School, in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.

They have been selected to represent the school in a exhibition at Astor College, in Kent.

Their entries, Fish Textiles, by Chelsea, and Self Portrait, by Adam, will be shown alongside work from specialist arts colleges across the country.

Head of art Karenann Matthews-John, other staff and pupils from school have joined headteacher Mike Thornton in congratulating the pair on their achievement.

Mrs Matthews-John said: "Chelsea and Adam were A-grade students and their submissions will show how high the standards of work are here at Greenfield.
