STUDENTS from Gordano School in Portishead organised a celebration of Extended Learning.
Year seven pupils displayed projects including work submitted as part of a contest for the new Extended Learning system, formerly known as homework.
The new system which allows students more freedom and creativity in their work, involves projects set with longer deadlines and also offers a reward system.
During the celebration evening, nine finalists presented their work to a panel of judges.
