The winning flag design by Lucy Wilson in Primary 5 has been produced into a flag that now proudly flies at the entrance to the development to provide a warm and colourful welcome to everyone visiting Hawkhead Gardens.

Lucy won a £50 book voucher, and recently visited the development to see her flag in-situ. The standard of the entries was so high that four additional entries were also chosen to form part of additional signage at the development to welcome visitors, and each child has received a £20 book voucher.

The children at St John Ogilvie Primary enjoyed rising to the challenge of this fun competition as Miss Murray, head teacher, said: “Participating in the Taylor Wimpey competition to design a flag for their new housing development was an exciting opportunity for our children.

“The children enjoyed tackling their brief to create a bold and colourful design, and I understand the judges found it hard to choose a winner due to the high standard of entries from Primary 5. The flag looks great, and it is a lovely connection between our school and the local Taylor Wimpey development at Hawkhead Gardens.”

Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, added: “We recognise the importance of making sure that we support the communities in which we build our new homes. It has been our pleasure to work with St John Ogilvie Primary on this project to strengthen and extend our links once again with the local community of Paisley.”
