We are our ethos and values, we are a community!

Location: Leicester Cathedral – Gallery
Overview
The whole school was invited to be involved in our Stomp journey and during a whole school assembly, were asked to consider what they thought our elephant should embody as a representation of our school. Students from all year groups submitted design ideas, suggesting ways to decorate and adorn the elephant to represent the schools community, ethos and values. So many fantastic designs were submitted and the school couldn’t choose just one, so the design was inspired by multiple design ideas, with the best elements used from each to make one superb idea. Students in Year 9 sketched and painted the elephant during lunchtime clubs and brought the schools vision to life!
