We are delighted to announce our Centenary project winners. In celebration of 100 years of Great Ballard, students produced a wide range of projects, which our proprietor, Mrs Jay, was excited to judge.  The junior winners were Rose I and Amelia S-H, with  their lovely model of Mac’s gravestone and history about the famous dog. The senior winner was Charlie A, with his excellent in-depth interview with Chris Jay and the detailed presentation which followed. Our overall winner was William J who composed a special piece of music especially for the landmark. You can hear the version by clicking this link. William takes home £50 and the other winners £25 each. Well done to all who entered.
