THERE was something fishy about a student art competition in St Martins – and competitors ‘got the memo’ perfectly.

Year 9 students at St Martins School, in Moors Bank, were given the task of creating a piece of artwork based on ‘Aquatic Life’ to be chosen for display at Len’s Plaice, a popular takeaway in the village.

A spokesman for the school said the competition was supported well by students, plus bosses at Len’s Plaice and all were delighted to have taken part.
