Plymouth College pupil, Ben Harvey, 11, has won his weight in trophies after a run of success in dance and speech competitions.

Following his success in the Plymouth Speech and Drama Festival in the autumn, when he won a number of prizes and was awarded the trophy for the Most Promising Performer, Ben walked away with more silverware at the Saltash Festival.

He came 1st in the U14 Prose Speaking class, reciting James Reeves' The Sea and claimed another 1st place in the U14 Prose Reading, with an extract from Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo.  He came 3rd in the U16 News Reading class.  His success in the Saltash Festival was completed with the award for Overall Prose Performance.

Ben's final addition to his trophy haul came last weekend when he came 3rd in the U16 intermediate duo class in the British Street Dance Championships in Somerset.  A member of Plymouth street dance group, Rhythm City, Ben performs in competitions around the country.

"I really enjoy taking part in the competitions", said Ben.  "I have to practise quite hard but it's definitely worth it, particularly when I bring a trophy home."
