The winning flag design 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 Lauder Grove.

The standard of the entries was so high that five additional entries were chosen to form part of additional signage at the development to welcome visitors.

Carol Morwood, head teacher at Hillwood Primary, said: “Taking part in the Taylor Wimpey competition to design a flag for their new Lauder Grove housing development was an exciting opportunity for our primary five and primary six 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.

“The flag looks great, and the banner is so colourful too. Together they showcase the hard work and artistic talent of our children and create a lovely connection between our school and the local Taylor Wimpey development in Ratho Station.”

Kirsty McGill, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, added: “We are delighted with the winning flag design and indeed the other designs that we chose to create a welcome banner. Together they make a very colourful welcome to our development.

“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 Hillwood Primary on this project, and to strengthen and extend our links once again within the local community of Ratho Station.”
