Students put artistic efforts in the frame
Every picture tells a story, and pupils, parents and staff at Ansford Academy were challenged to come up with some top-class photographs.
The school's photography competition has now become a popular annual event and this year's contest attracted more entries than ever, giving eager staff, pupils and students' parents the chance to show off their camera skills.
This year the theme was A Moment in Time and the judges – Western Gazette chief photographer Len Copland and Shepton Mallet Journal reporter Fran Weelen – had a huge task sifting through and making a decision on the entries as all were of such a high standard.
Entries ranged from people and animals to spectacular sunsets and seascapes. And the competition saw student Jessica Pate pipping her Dad to the post. She came second in the pupils' category while her father Andrew came third in the parents' entries.
