The competition which is run by the Rotary Club of Gravesend is now in its 25th year and is open to all the primary schools in Graveseham.

2012 Keep Schools Tidy ShorneRotary President Chris Wraight said that ” since we started this competition the standard of cleanliness and tidyness of our schools has reached such a level that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a winner. The children are now so keen and keep their playgrounds etc so free of litter that for the past few years we have had to include marks for the schools ‘ green activities’, their gardening, wildlife conservation and environmentally friendly aspects.”

The photograph shows second placed was Shorne Primary school which received a cheque for £150. and Riverview Infants school was Highly Commended with a cheque for £100
