In the Annual Schools Exhibition held throughout January and February at the Burton Art Gallery and Museum in 
Bideford, Shebbear College was shortlisted for a prize and certificate of merit for the creativity of the artwork submitted by a small group of pupils.
Lower 6th Former Saskia Weale won a cash prize and certificate for her artwork.

The Annual Schools Exhibition nurtures and encourages the talents of young artists.
Aged from 5 to 18, all participants attend schools in the local area and the exhibition is designed to reward the creativity of the next generation.
The colourful and engaging exhibition is a great opportunity to find inspiration and celebrate the achievements of art departments in Torridge.
Once again NADFAS (National Association of Decorative and Fine Art Societies) generously sponsored cash prizes to those schools that exhibit the most creative and original artwork.
