In 2008 Bishop Gilpin Church of England Primary School celebrated 250 years of educating children, formerly as National School and then as Old Central School.

To celebrate this I was commissioned to work with the children to make three separate mosaic pieces for the entrance hall ‘welcome area’ of the school.

One being the central decorative cross, which was unveiled and blessed by The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams on 17th July 2009 after a celebration service at the local church followed by a special tour of the school.

The mosaics were designed and made by a group of ten children from each of the two Year 6 classes who were leaving their work as a lasting legacy to the school
