Holy Family Primary School, Slough wins GBP 500
Slough Borough Council’s director of education and children’s services will be awarding the Holy Family Primary School next Tusday (May 8) with a £500 cheque after pupils signed up to the Children 1st Charter’s 15 promises competition and won.
More than 2,500 primary school pupils signed up to the charter, which asked them to agree to a set of 15 promises including being healthy, saying no to strangers and combating bullying.
Holy Family had the most entries and produced a DVD and photo album of their experiences, as well as pictures and stories from various year groups about their 15 promises.
The school can spend the £500 on resources chosen by their school council.
Janet Tomlinson, director of education and children’s services for Slough Borough Council, said: “We hope all the schools had as much fun taking part in the competition as we did judging the wonderful entries. The standard of work was exceptionally high and we were very impressed.
“The children’s work is on display in the Town Hall.”
Other schools which came into the top five were; Godolphin Junior, Parlaunt Park, Priory School and Cippenham Junior.
And as a special thank you, all schools who entered have been given ‘I’ve promised’ pencil cases for the children.
