A group of students from John Bentley School has won a silver award in a combined art and design and modern foreign languages challenge.

Eight schools took part in the competition in which they had to design and make a half sized model of festival seating, before presenting their design to a panel of business leaders and language specialists from Bath University.

The students had to present their final design in two languages and the John Bentley group was commended for their presentation skills, lateral thinking, detail and team work.
