Top of the class with David Wilson Homes

A nine year old school boy from Kirkby-in-Ashfield has beaten off stiff competition from fellow pupils to win a Christmas card competition for local housebuilder David Wilson East Midlands. Tyrelle Hamilton from Kingsway Primary School on Kingsway impressed the judges with his traditional design of a snowman, Christmas tree and Father Christmas.

The competition, which was held as part of the school's lunch club, asked the children to draw a design that would be made into an actual Christmas card.

A presentation was held on Monday to announce the winners and David Wilson sales negotiator Kim Lawrence from the nearby Church Fields development was on hand to present third, second and first place winners with their prizes.

Eight year old Isobel Robinson came a close second with her colourful design and eight year old Olivia-Jai Shore came third with her interpretation of Father Christmas and his reindeers flying across the night sky.

Kate Burns, Headteacher at Kingsway comments "The children really enjoyed taking part in the competition and being given the opportunity to show of their creative flair in the run up to Christmas.

"I would like to thank David Wilson for organising the competition and providing the prizes, we had a lot of proud Mums at the presentation assembly and Tyrelle was thrilled when he saw his design on the front of the Christmas cards."

Philip Lacey, Sales Director for David Wilson says "We were very impressed with the standard of entries received in the competition and it was a tough decision choosing a winner. But Tyrelle's neat and festive design instantly appealed to all the judges.

"We decided to offer the competition to Kingsway Primary as our Church Fields development is just around the corner and with a selection of fantastic homes on offer, it's the perfect place for a family to call home."

Situated on Great Portland Park, Church Fields is an exquisite development offering a selection of two- bedroom apartments as well as two-, three- and four- bedroom homes.

Prices at the development start from £99,995.
