This year’s final was held just before half-term when national finalists and overall winners were unveiled.
Arts and Minds is run by the NASUWT with support from a range of organisations including the Anne Frank Trust, Unite Against Facism, Love Music Hate Racism, and SecEd.
The competition asks students from primary, secondary and special schools to produce a piece of creative writing or artwork tackling themes of racism and prejudice and celebrating diversity and equality.
There were 13 finalists this year and the overall winners were selected by television presenter Gok Wan.
In the secondary school category, the winners was Class S3 from Inverclyde Academy. Their work – Diversity Rug – featured hundreds of strips of fabric printed with powerful words about diversity bound together (see image above).
