Overview
The idea for our bright and playful elephant sculpture was born from a collaborative effort across the school community. Pupils shared their ideas through drawings, stories and group discussions, all centred around creating something fun and welcoming. Inspired by their creativity and enthusiasm, we designed an elephant full of charm and personality. Her bold colours and soft, rounded shape reflect the values we celebrate making her a true symbol of our school’s vibrant and curious spirit.
