HUNDREDS of students at a Shinfield school have showcased their sharpness of mind in an Olympic-themed initiative.
David Wilson Homes teamed up with Wokingham Borough Council to provide pupils at Oakbank School with crosswords featuring disciplines involved in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Through the challenge, the secondary school pupils learned about the various events, some of which they had never heard of before.
Three winning students were selected from those who entered the competition and each secured a £10 One4All voucher, supplied by David Wilson.
The housebuilder also donated £70 to Oakbank to help enhance its outdoor seating facilities.
Steve Jump, Headteacher at Oakbank School, said: “Oakbank is very keen to work with those in the local community to improve the facilities, and ultimately the experience at school, for all of our students.”
Emma Hawkins, sales director at David Wilson Homes Southern, added: “As a responsible housebuilder, we aim to work with the communities that surround our developments in any way that we can.
“Inspiring the next generation to get involved and learn is something that is close to our hearts. It has been a great pleasure to introduce this educational activity, which has helped students to find out more about the world’s greatest sporting event.”
