We are delighted to share the design of our newest learning value!

The final design, draw up by Miss Chalk, combines features from all 14 finalists, and we think it really represents the traits of grit.

From September (however that may look), grit will be spotted around the school, hanging out in all the same places as the other learning values.

Thank you and well done again to our finalists!
