Photographs and articles about two more nominated youngsters will appear in the Lynn News next week.

A total of 16 entries have been received this year in the four award categories – personal achievement, personal courage, sport and outstanding initiative.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Lynn Town Hall on Tuesday, April 1.

James Lashmore Searson has overcome personal difficulties to excel at sport and in his schoolwork.

James (15), of Foulden, has been nominated for a Super Kids sports award in recognition of his archery skills.

He achieved the distinction of junior national longbow champion in 2005-6. He also holds many highest scores in under-16 and under-18 events in national and regional competitions organised by the Grand National Archery Association.

Sport-loving James also enjoys boxing, weight-lifting, swimming, climbing, cycling and running.

James' father died three years ago. Methwold High School teacher Jo Dickerson, who nominated him for the award, said he had continued to excel at archery despite his loss.

Mrs Dickerson said: "He recently presented his sporting achievements to the school governors who were extremely impressed by his achievements, all in the face of adversity."

James also continued to achieve academically at school, in spite of suffering from dyslexia.

He has concentrated less on archery competitions this year because he is studying to sit 11 GCSEs.

His mother, Anne, said: "He is an inspiration to other young people with dyslexia."
