Year four and five pupils were asked to submit original cartoons with the theme of 'Make Me Laugh'. The school received more than 70 entries, which were judged by Mr Matthew, director of art, and UK Young Cartoonist of the Year winner, Bloxham School student Daniel Meikle.
Daniel was featured in the Banbury Guardian for his winning cartoon, which can be read here: https://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/news/people/banbury-boy-wins-young-cartoonist-year-award-3086948
