Mia Oldroyd, a Year 13 student at Richmond Sixth Form, will be sitting her A-levels in May, yet alongside dedicating hours of studying for her exams took on a demanding challenge of running 10k (approx 6 miles) each day for 12 days, in aid of the charity MIND.

A gifted young artist, from Richmond School and Sixth Form College, has won Bedale Community Library’s inaugural art competition to create a picture of a woodland friend for a secret garden mural in the children’s area of the library. Roxie Ventham, a Year 7 student, was made aware of the competition by her Grandma, Sharon Neale, a regular user of the library.  She entered a beautiful hand-drawn picture of a fox and was over the moon to discover that hers was the winning design.
