During the last academic year the Isle of Wight Council challenged schools across the Island to take part in a competition to design a trophy for the Tour of Britain cycle race. KS3 students at Medina College took on the challenge in their Design and Technology lessons and hundreds of fantastic designs were submitted. Ella, who is now in year 10, had her design selected and made into a trophy to compete with the other school entries.
Ella’s trophy was then selected as the overall winner and the plan was for it to be presented to the winning team at the end of the Tour of Britain cycle race. However following the death of Queen Elizabeth II the decision was made to cancel the last few legs of the race.
To recognise the efforts of the students, The Isle of Wight Council invited Ella and the runners up to a presentation at Ryde rowing club on Saturday 8th October and Ella was presented with a prize by the Ryde town mayor.
Well done to everyone who took part and a big well done to Ella!
