Cheltenham based project, No Child Left Behind, has given a schoolchild the chance to design a flag to be flown above the Municipal Offices in Cheltenham.

After all they were all submitted, Cllr Flo Clucas judged the competition and has decided the winner is Isabella, 11, from Oakwood Primary School.

Cllr Flo Clucas member for safety and communities said ‘’Childhood is fantastic and it is a wonderful time to get creative! We were delighted so many children entered the competition and it has been very challenging choosing a winner!

"Thanks for all of our fantastic entries. It is great to see so many young people getting involved.

"Flying a No Child Left Behind flag outside the Municipal Offices will continue to raise awareness for this great project and show how important children and young people are to our town.’’

Speaking at full council, Isabella said: “The idea behind my design for the flag was that it shows different types of people coming together in unity - helping each other.

‘’It shows that it doesn’t matter who we are or our age or where we come from, we can all help other people.”

The flag is now on display all year at the Municipal Offices.
