GIFTED and talented youngsters from across east Cleveland held an exhibition of artwork at Redcar and Cleveland College.

The youngsters from schools throughout the area were taking part in a summer school based on arts subjects at the college, as part of a Government scheme aimed at developing youngsters who are gifted.

The scheme aims to stretch them and make them think a bit more than the normal school scope gives them chance to.

More than 200 parents, friends and family packed into the college to view the artwork on display.

A science and technology summer school takes place at Teesside University later in the summer.
