ARTWORK from a Knaresborough school has won in a nationwide competition to raise awareness of a rare form of childhood cancer.

Aspin Park Primary School was one of 14 schools across Britain to scoop a regional award in the Art4Eyes competition organised by the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT).

The competition saw pupils aged between five and 11 creating artwork based on the theme of eyes.

Each child taking part received a leaflet to take home to their parents explaining about the childhood eye cancer known as retinoblastoma which affects children predominantly under the age of six.
