COLOURFUL artwork created by pupils from St James CofE Primary in Malvern has won an award.

Wildlife television presenter Michaela Strachan picked the school's work as winner of her personal choice award at this year’s Global Canvas Art & Poetry Competition.

Students’ designs were on display at the Natural History Museum in London as part of the exhibition and prize-giving day run by wildlife charity the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.

Michaela Strachan loved the school's colourful batik depicting wildlife from the Malvern Hills.

She said: "Clubs, classes and even whole schools had worked together; researching, designing, writing and painting to produce fantastic mini-exhibitions which demonstrate the issues our world faces and how ‘we can heal our world’ from their point of view.

"I was simply astounded by the talent on show."
