Six pupils from St. Richard's Catholic College attended the launch of the 1066 Schools' Book Award at Helenswood Lower School library.

They represented youngsters from Year 7 to Year 10.

The St. Richard's group joined other participating schools and librarians from Bexhill High School, Claverham Community College, Filsham Valley School, The Grove, Helenswood College and Hillcrest.

Pupils, teachers, librarians and sponsors gathered to hear last year's winning author Jill Hucklesby announce the shortlist of books up for awards this year.
