Kim Leadbeater meets winner of Christmas card competition at Birstall school


Five-year-old Harlen, a pupil at St Peter’s School, came out on top out of dozens of entries from across the district after designing a shiny Christmas tree surrounded by Santa, a reindeer, snowdrop and presents.
The Batley and Spen MP visited the youngster at the school during the last week of term and presented him with a gift bag of goodies, including sweets which he said he was delighted with because “my Mum loves sweets!”
