MR Springer, Prior Park Prep School’s five foot handsomely decorated March hare is situated at the school entrance as part of the Cotswold Hare Trail 2017.
He is one of 85 hares in the festival.
Mr Springer is a result of combined design ideas submitted by Year 5 pupils in a Springtime-themed competition set by head of art Nicky Brookes.
Mrs Brookes commissioned local artists, Debbie and Dan Stirling, to bring the children’s ideas to life.
The oversized hare-in-residence will be in situ in Cricklade until the end of the festival on Sunday, September 10.
Mrs Brookes: "This has truly been a collaborative effort. Debbie and Dan have worked brilliantly with the children teaching them specialist skills and creative techniques.
"We are so proud of Mr Springer and our involvement with the Cotswold Hare Trail.
"We were involved before in the Cirencester March Hare Festival - it has been an inspiring project for everyone concerned to be involved with."
