Amy Finnegan was short listed in the Young Film Critic of the year 2009 competition organised by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts

Every year school children from across the country take part in a competition to find the next ‘Young Film Critic of the Year’

Amy Finnegan from Year 9 entered the competition through the school, having read the novel 'The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas' by John Boyne and watching the film adaptation.

She was short listed in the 11-14yrs category and invited up to London to the prestigious BAFTA Building on the launch day of National School Film Week.

Amy was awarded, by Joel Defries from Blue Peter, a framed certificate in recognition of her achievement in being selected from 4000 entrants to take part in the final.

Amongst the other celebrities there was Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter) and much to Amy’s delight she has a photograph with him to prove it.

Well done to Amy !
