Pupils from the school, located on Caroline Close, were tasked with creating designs that encouraged safe and considerate driving around the development which was prepared for its first residents.

The winning design, created by Joshua, aged eight, is now displayed across the development. With Joshua also receiving a £50 Amazon voucher as a reward for his creativity.
