How did they win? Schools in the borough were challenged to produce a short film about food. Trafalgar School's winning submission documented where potatoes come from and how they are used to make food.
What was their prize? Pupils won a new allotment, shed and gardening tools, so they can grow their own food. Blue Peter gardener Chris Collins and Richmond upon Thames Mayor, Councillor Helen Lee-Parsons attended the opening ceremony of the allotment.
Who organised the competition? The initiative was a combined venture between social housing repairs provider Mears; School Food Matters, a not-for-profit organisation that promotes healthy school food; and Richmond Environmental Network, which includes voluntary and community groups.
