Swaffham C of E Primary Academy design card with Barratt Homes to welcome new residents
Following a greetings card design competition with Barratt Homes, an imaginative pupil from Swaffham C of E Primary Academy in Swaffham is spreading joy to residents at the homebuilder’s new development.
As part of a ‘Welcome Home’ campaign, the builder reached out to the school nearby to its development Ceres Rise in Swaffham, for the school children's help in designing greeting cards to be handed out to new homebuyers.
Local pupil, Josie Grace-Childerhouse (6) was crowned the winner of the competition and will see her card printed and delivered to new residents, in addition to receiving a £30 gift card.
Syreeta Rice, assistant head teacher at Swaffham CofE Primary School, said: “The children have really enjoyed taking part in this competition, they worked really hard on the wonderful designs. It is a privilege to know our school will have a part in welcoming new residents to Ceres Rise.”
The campaign aims to provide a warm welcome to those who have recently moved to the development, whilst also highlighting key information about the local area.
The theme of the countywide Barratt Homes greetings card competition is ‘all things home-related’, encouraging local children to be as creative as possible, adding in pictures and details about the area they live in.
Will Phair, sales director at Barratt Homes Cambridgeshire, said: “It’s important to us to make new residents feel welcome as they join our new communities, and we’re thankful to the pupils of Swaffham C of E Primary School for helping us to do just that.
“We hope that when moving into their new home, a message from a local school pupil will really put a smile on homeowners’ faces.
“We received a variety of inventive entries as part of the Welcome Home campaign and it was a difficult task choosing our winner, however we hope this project has inspired the imaginations of the children involved.”
