WESTBURY Leigh Primary School children have been working with artist Lise McDermot to create the school’s logo, which represents their core values.
The school said, “At Westbury Leigh CE Primary school we have been reviewing our vision. We want children to be inspired to aspire to their dreams and we work hard to help them achieve this.
“We believe that children are the voice of the future and that by building their sense of self and character and enabling them to learn about their community and the wider world, we are helping them to ask questions about this and consider the role they play in shaping it further.
“The school community has been reflecting on the school logo which is the swan and how this exemplifies the vision of the school. We have talked about how our core values inspire us to aim high and like the swan, we take flight and soar when we achieve well.
“Some of the children have been working with our artist in residence, Mrs Lise McDermot, in creating a special picture that shows how the swan inspires us and carries us on our learning journey. They used acrylic paint, artists’ materials and gold leaf to create our school picture.”
Headteacher Debbie Grimsey said, “We believe that the future of our world is in the hands of our children and their voice and place within this should be nurtured, heard and respected. Our core values are Respect, Responsibility and Courage; these are aligned to support our vision that every child will be inspired not to have more, but to be more, through aspiration and a focus on achievement.”
