SCEMES 2006 Prize Draw

Headteacher Janette Creber accepts the winning certificate from Steve Meredith and Martin Cap from SCEMES Ltd.

From all the entries SCEMES received throughout the year, 10 schools were drawn from across the UK to be guaranteed winners at the Education Show, NEC Prize Draw. First Prize was £10,000 to spend with the remaining 9 prizes ranging from £1000 worth of musical equipment to a digital camcorder.

When asked about winning the 1st Prize, Janette Creber said:

"What a fantastic surprise! I travelled to the Education Show simply to enjoy the exhibition, and anything I won for school would be a bonus, not dreaming that we would win the £10,000. St Mark's is a small school in Cornwall so has to manage on a tight budget. To win this incredible amount was just wonderful. After consulting with the children and staff we have decided that we would like to spend £500 of it on helping a school in a developing country. We will buy basic classroom equipment and our children will benefit from the giving as well as the children in a developing country from the receiving. For the school we will buy outdoor play equipment. We wanted something ALL the children would benefit from and a good quality adventure playground would be something that could NEVER come out of the ordinary budget. We are very grateful to SCEMES for this opportunity"
