Dudley school scoops new classroom prize
A secondary school in Dudley has moved a step closer to starting to deliver lessons in sustainable living from a new outdoor classroom after winning building materials in a national competition.
Thorns Collegiate Academy in Brierley Hill has been named as a monthly winner in Selco Builders Warehouse’s Community Heroes scheme and has received £500 to spend in branch.
The school is planning to install an outdoor classroom for new sustainability sessions, which will be open to both pupils and their families, as well as a community allotment.
Thorns Collegiate Academy will also be one of 12 finalists in the Community Heroes campaign with £5,000 up for grabs for the overall winner, as well as £1,000 for a runner-up. A public vote is set to launch shortly.
Sally Philpotts, Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust Director of SEND, said: “We are thrilled to receive this support from Selco.
