PUPILS at a Lake District school have scooped a prize in a youth journalism competition.
GCSE Geography students from John Ruskin School, Coniston, have won one of the runner-up prizes in the competition organised by West Cumbria’s Managing Radioactive Waste Safely Partnership.
The competition challenged young people to produce a news report in a bid to encourage them to learn about the issues surrounding the search to find a suitable site for an underground repository for higher-activity waste in West Cumbria.
The winning article by Eleanor Blackley, 16, of Great Broughton, near Cockermouth, and the runner-up pieces have been put on the partnership’s website for people to read online at http://www.westcumbriamrws.org.uk/page/118/Youth-competition
