Artwork created by two Witchford school children is set to feature in the prestigious Royal Academy Young Artists' Summer Show in London. 

Winston Arnold and Wren Senior from The Rackham Primary School were selected out of more than 21,500 students aged 4-19 across the UK. 

Now in its sixth year, the Royal Academy's Young Artists’ Summer Show is a free, open submission exhibition for pupils studying in the UK.

Winston submitted an acrylic painting to represent his Christian faith and belief in Jesus as his hero. 

Titled Our Hero, the seven-year-old said he was "very excited" when he heard his painting would be displayed to the public at the Royal Academy. 

He said: "When my dad told me, I started running around the house screaming madly."

The artwork is judged by a panel of artists and arts professionals who select those to be displayed at The Royal Academy of Art – one of the world’s leading galleries.

Using poster paints, Wren Senior submitted her representation of rugby action on the field. 

Titled The Rugby Match: England Vs Scotland, she created the scene using a sponge. 

She said: "I love playing rugby for the Ely Tigers and my favourite way to paint is crazy and it makes me feel happy." 

Wren’s work will join approximately 500 other curated pieces to be displayed in the RA's online exhibition.

Now in its sixth year, the RA Young Artists’ Summer Show is a free, open submission exhibition for pupils studying in the UK.

Twenty-eight pupils from The Rackham Primary School submitted work in a wide variety of forms including still life, portraits, textiles, mixed media and collage. 

The Rackham After School Club also entered with a collaboratively created quilt.

Head Teacher Georgina Turner said: "It has been a source of great pride to witness the enthusiasm and artistic talent that is abundant throughout The Rackham student population.

"Joining this competition has enabled our pupils to broaden their understanding of potential careers within the creative industry. Congratulations to everyone who took part."

The exhibition will open at the Royal Academy of Art in London on Tuesday 16th July and will also be available to explore online.
