A BOY from Bradford on Avon has won a national writing competition. Harry Riddle, 10, was one of nine winners picked from 34,000 children in a competition to find the best young writers in the UK.
He won the south west award for the most persuasive writing in a challenge run by the Department for Education and Skills.
TV historian Adam Hart Davies started a story and the entrants had to finish it off.
The children had to persuade readers whether it was better to grow up in the Victorian age, or the modern day.
Harry, from Fitzmaurice Primary School, won computer software and WHSmith vouchers at a ceremony at the British Library in London.
The school will get computer software and books.
