THREE Worcestershire Schools have won cash prizes in an eco-competition.

The competition was organised by ISG, the contractors building the new Rivers CofE Academy Trust School in Perdiswell.

All ten schools from across the academy were invited to enter the competition by designing an eco-friendly habitat or bird feeder, which will be placed in the new forest school area at North Worcester Primary Academy when it opens later this year.

Burlish Park Primary School, in Stourport-on-Severn, won first place in the competition for their hedgehog habitat.

Second place went to St Peter’s C of E School, in Droitwich, for their eco-bird feeder and third place went to Cutnall Green Primary School for a Hogwarts Express themed habitat.

Kate Brunt, chief executive of Rivers CofE Academy Trust said: “It’s fabulous to see children from across the academy showing so much enthusiasm for nature and the environment. We hope that the new creations will encourage more wildlife to our beautiful forest school area. We are all so excited about the opening of the new school in September and to welcoming new pupils and parents to the Rivers Academy family.”
