Eco-School Competition
Wed 10 Apr 2019All ten schools across the Rivers CofE Academy Trust were invited to enter an 'Eco-School Competition' by designing an eco-friendly habitat or bird feeder, which will be placed in the new forest school area at the Trust's new school, North Worcester Primary Academy, when it opens in September.
The competition was organised by ISG, the contractors building the new school, with prizes of £100, £50 and £25 being offered to the top three winning entries.
Burlish Park Primary School won first place with their fabulous hedgehog habitat, second place went to St Peter's Droitwich CofE Academy for their eco-bird feeder and third place went to Cutnall Green Primary School for their Hogwarts Express themed habitat.
Kate Brunt, CEO of Rivers CofE Academy Trust said "It's fabulous to see children from across the Trust 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 family."

Wed 10 Apr 2019On Friday 5th April we welcomed MP Robin Walker on to the site of our of our brand new school, North Worcester Primary Academy, to see the progress on the building work and participate in our monthly Executive Heads meeting.
North Worcester Primary Academy is on track to open its doors to new pupils this year. The steel frame is completed, the roof is nearly done, both the ground and first floors are in and work has now started on the interior walls.
MP Robin Walker, said: “I am so excited to see the first new primary school actually being delivered and to see the construction that is going on. I think this will be a great facility for local people. It will be a lovely school providing a light and spacious area and I think it is something parents will be excited about. It is great we have a local trust who run many local schools who are looking after it and making sure it will fit in with the rest of the education community. It meets a real need. It’s brilliant to see the first brand new primary school come to Worcester in many decades.”
