YOUNGSTERS at a borough school have been celebrating after coming out top at a regional awards ceremony.

As reported on Thurrock Nub News last month, Horndon on the Hill CoE primary was nominated for the prestigious national Modeshift STARS School Travel Awards, and reached the East of England regional awards final.

It has now been announced that Horndon won – and will now go forward to the national final in March.

Modeshift STARS Programme Manager Emily Sykes has congratulated Horndon on the achievement, making it one of 47 national finalists, saying: "We are absolutley delighted to announce that your school has been awarded the title of Modeshift STARS Primary School of the Year 2024/25!

"This brilliant accomplishment reflects your school's hard work and dedication to promoting sustainable travel choices, such as walking, cycling and wheeling for the journey to school.

"You've demonstrated a true commitment to creating a healthier, greener future for your school community."
