GDST Junior Christmas Card Competition 2024

Junior pupils across the GDST family have been getting into the festive spirit by designing beautiful Christmas cards as part of our annual GDST-wide competition.

Under a generic ‘festive’ theme, our junior schools submitted one whole-school entry into each of our categories, Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) & Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

GDST Chief Executive, Cheryl Giovannoni, chose this year’s winners selecting the truly original and charming designs below.

 

EYFS & Key Stage 1 winner – Notting Hill & Ealing High School

 

Key Stage 2 winner – Blackheath High School

As well as receiving a £50 National Book Tokens voucher, our winners’ designs have been turned into a ‘season’s greeting’ email sign-off for all GDST staff to use.

Well done to our runners up too.
