Drakes Broughton development named by local school
A young class of pupils are celebrating after winning a competition to name Bovis Homes’ stunning new development of two to five bedroom luxury homes.
Children, aged from four to 12, took part in the Bovis Homes competition, at St Barnabas CE First and Middle School, to name the brand-new development in Drakes Broughton. Pupils carried out extensive research into the area and into the challenges and benefits that housebuilding brings to a community, before coming up with a wide variety of names.
Following a tough judging process, Class 5AH won the challenge, naming the housebuilder’s site, on Worcester Road, Pear Tree Walk, in reference to the area’s link to the fruit.
The whole school was included in the competition and each class sent acting headteacher Stephen Booth a shortlist of names. Mr Booth said: “We were so impressed with the names our pupils came
up with and want to thank Bovis Homes for encouraging them to get so involved in this project. Many of them travel past the site on their way to and from school and we can see it from our playing fields. They are so interested in seeing it develop and to know they actively came up with the name, which is now proudly placed on signage at the development with our school’s name on it. During active workshops, which formed part of the competition, teachers taught them about the history and geography of the area and the positive impact new-build housing has, including environmental issues.”
Bovis Homes colleagues involved in the site were the judges of the competition, picking the Year 5 class as the winners, and the new signage is now proudly on display. Paul Bennison, regional marketing manager at Bovis Homes, said: “It was really lovely to meet the children and to know they can watch our development being built from the school. There were really high-quality entries to the competition and we believe Pear Tree Walk is an engaging name that paints a lovely image of what the location will become. A huge well done to class 5AH.”
