Paisley Kerswell

Paisley, or ‘Goldie-Lox’ as she is known in the dance world, was chosen to compete in the highly coveted competition when she impressed judges in the British championships in Wales earlier this yearShe competed in the advanced category for her age group and grabbed first place, despite competition from dancers up to two years older than herself.
Callum Chadwick, Ethan Chisnall and Josh Jump
Courageous friends Callum Chadwick, Ethan Chisnall, 13, and Josh Jump, 14, rescued two men from a burning flat in their Blackbrook neighbourhood.
They sprang into action after hearing a ‘horrible’ scream and seeing smoke billowing from a lower floor window after a chip pan caught fire on Beacon Grove.
Cowley pupil Josh, who suffers from asthma, draped a sheet across his nose and mouth as they kicked in a door panel to get inside the flat.
They rescued one man and dragged him out before, remarkably, going back inside after realising another man was still in there.
Josh, who lives in the town centre, found one man in the living room, but after clambering through the small hole to get inside they realised there was no escape route to pull the stricken man through.
