We go back to school in Winchburgh

As part of our commitment to engaging with young people and future-proofing our workforce, and to mark the rollout of our new primary school resources, members of our Young Persons’ Forum (YPF) returned to school this month with a visit to Winchburgh Primary School.

Winchburgh Primary School Visit
During the visit to Winchburgh Primary, the YPF team took the children through a series of fun and educational activities that focused on the importance of building new homes and communities sustainably, which included an introduction to housebuilding presentation and video; a group activity to build a structure and a sustainability matching task.

The children will complete the seed planting and build a bug hotel activity in further class time in the coming weeks. Every child in the group received a copy of our Ecotastic Activity book packed full of fun challenges to complete and a biodegradable pen.

Ellen Clark, Assistant Land Manager and member of the YPF at Taylor Wimpey East Scotland said: “We really enjoyed going back to primary school and having the opportunity to inspire the young minds at Winchburgh Primary School about our industry and the way we build our new homes sustainably with a series of fun workshops and challenges."
“Our primary school engagement project is part of our commitment to futureproofing and attracting talent into the wide range of opportunities that our industry offers. From the children’s enthusiastic response, we hope that one day in the future they will want to be part of creating great communities where people want to live.”
