A WINNING design from an artistic youngster is featured on this year’s Christmas card from Batley and Spen MP Kim Leadbeater.

The picture from Jasmine, a Year Four pupil at Heckmondwike Primary School, shows Santa, a snowman and gifts under a Christmas tree.

It has been printed onto hundreds of Christmas cards being sent out by the MP this year.

The competition to design a Christmas card attracted entries from schools across Batley and Spen. 

The back of the card features designs by the runners-up.

Kim congratulated Jasmine during a visit to her school last week and presented her with a Christmas selection box and pen from the Houses of Parliament. 

The pupils heard that among the 750 cards going out was one to the Prime Minister and another to King Charles and Queen Camilla. 

Kim said: “I was bowled over to see so many brilliant and imaginative designs for my Christmas card, but Jasmine’s seemed to sum up everything that is festive and fun about this time of year.

“I’m so pleased that she put so much work into her entry and was delighted to pick it as the winner. And it was a special pleasure to go back to my old school and present her with her prize.”
