We decided way back in September that we would like our school logo to represent the interests and ideas of pupils and staff. That we would focus on things that we valued about our school and the community and also our ideas about what we wanted for the future.
On our joint logo workshop day we started from the things we like about school and about Portsmouth. You may remember that Pompey featured strongly. Our designer, Helen came up with 4 ideas following that day and then the fun began. We asked pupils, staff, parents and people following the progress of the school through our website to vote for their favourite.
For a long time it looked as though the ship was going to be the winner. However in the end, the decision was made to go with our ‘pompey’ coloured rose with the wave underneath it to symbolise our links with the sea. This was the only design that had come directly from one of our pupils; the others were a combination of ideas from different people. Also it was felt that it was original ad colourful and would look really good on our uniform and our school stationery.
Congratulations to Alice Fisher who, as you can see in her photographs, is delighted to have had her design chosen.
