Bracknell

It was a special school assembly recently for Miguel Fernandes when the Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest presented him with an award.

The creative 10-year-old from Harmans Water Primary School last year won the borough-wide competition to design the cover of the 2007 carol concert programme.

Cllr Mrs Gill Birch, the Bracknell Mayor, presented Miguel with a framed version of his winning programme design in front of headteacher Michael Harris and a full school assembly.

Cllr Mrs Gill Birch said: "A special thank you to Miguel for designing such a lovely and creative programme.

"His design was featured on the programmes we gave out during the concert. This will be a treasured keepsake for him and the other children who took part."

More than 350 children from Bracknell Forest Borough Council's primary schools performed at the annual Christmas carol concert at the Bracknell Leisure Centre accompanied by a youth orchestra made up of Berkshire children taught by Berkshire Maestros. James Baker of Berkshire Maestros conducted the orchestra and choir.
