St George’s Courage Cup

“Kindness, Honesty, and Courage”

Royal Windsor Flower Show returns to Windsor Great Park on Saturday 8 June for its popular annual celebration of gardening, nature, cookery and crafts.

One of the many additions at this year’s show is the St George’s Courage Cup, a new competition class launched by St George’s School Windsor Castle aligned to the school’s values of Kindness, Honesty and Courage, to inspire more children to get involved in the event.

The Cup will be awarded to Best in Show from any of the event’s 34 Children’s Classes. With something for everyone, these range from fun gardening activities such as creating a vegetable character, to cooking traditional summer staples like jam tarts, and arts and crafts projects with a focus on pollinators. The age categories allow for those right from their youngest years upwards to take part (6 and under, 7 - 11, 12 - 16 years) and all entries are proudly displayed at the event. The St George’s Courage Cup winner also receives £5 prize money.

As one of the three school values, St George’s places significant emphasis on giving children opportunities to practise courage. Emma Adriano, the school’s Deputy Head and Head of Pre-Prep, said;

“Developing this in children is a gradual and ongoing process. We want every child to grow into a confident adult who is willing to take difficult, but worthwhile action.”

As such, the school regularly encourages children to step out of their comfort zone and try new things without fear of failure.
