West London Floating Classroom's Flag Competition Winner is Purva Kamboj of Blair Peach School

The West London Floating Classroom charity
is an educational facility operating in Hillingdon,
Hounslow and Ealing

Purva Kamboj of Blair Peach School was the lucky winner of the West London Floating Classroom's flag competition. Last year, whilst on a holiday playscheme on the Elsdale barge, Purva came up with her eye-catching design based on traditional boat pennants combined with unique features of Elsdale. Purva said “I was inspired by the orange life ring and the cheerful atmosphere on board". Her classmates in Year 4 were treated to a free trip as the prize!

The West London Floating Classroom charity is an educational facility operating in Hillingdon, Hounslow and Ealing. A wholly owned subsidiary of Groundwork Thames Valley, they are also linked with the environmental charity Arocha. Revenue from corporate and party bookings, together with funding from the Heritage Lottery subsidises trips to make them affordable for schools. Pupils discover and investigate their local environment and heritage whilst enjoying a cruise on the Grand Union Canal.

West London Floating Classroom's next competition is to design a model boat cabin, for display in the London Canal Museum!

Editors note: Well done Purva, we at CanalCuttings don't think luck came in to the equation, you are a very talented young person. Best wishes for the rest of your schooling.
