Student at Nower Hill wins photography prize

The 16-year-old, who attends Nower Hill High School in George V Avenue, began taking photographs for the competition just weeks into the first year of the school's new A-level course in photography.
Harry, who lives with his family in Pinner Road, North Harrow, said: "I took some photos of different things around the school about the school's specialisms of art and science.
"I took quite a lot and I didn't do much planning although I went to the science club for about two weeks to get to different shots of people doing experiments, and at home I took shots of my musical instruments."
He learned via the school two weeks ago that he had made it through to the competition's final in which a professional photographer will visit him during lessons to help to produce a storyboard which the judges will use to select a national winner.
"I was pretty surprised because I didn't think I was the best in my school let alone the London region," said Harry, who also plays the trumpet and guitar.
"My dad had photography as a hobby when he was at university and taught me some techniques before I started and I just tried to put those to good use."
The nine region winners of the SSAT contest will compete for three prizes for their school such as top of the range photographic equipment.
Nower Hill High School's head of media studies Charlotte Cox said: "We're very proud and we wish Harry the very best of luck for the rest of the competition."
