Primary schools have been awarded a total of £3,000 as part of the Rethink Waste scheme, Surrey Environment Partnership’s initiative.

Jacob Larby, a teacher at The Grange, which won the top prize of £1,000, said: “Many people worked together to donate points towards the eco-project. We are looking forward to spending the prize money on creating a sensory garden where the children can enjoy a safe space as they explore it with their different senses.”
