He said: “I chose Brixington Primary School’s tree as the overall winner as their rainbow design really reflected the times that we are living in at the moment.
“Rainbows have been used to symbolise the NHS and key workers in all sectors and the importance of looking after each other – not only was the tree colourful but very symbolic.”
After highlighting NHS workers through the summer, creating a Christmas tree in the same theme seemed the ‘natural choice’, said headteacher Stuart Dyer.
He added: “We were delighted by the children’s creative and ambitious efforts with their decorations and our biggest challenge was finding room for everyone’s design.”
