A post about a comms visit to Norton schools
Last week’s Comms Crew curation day at Norton Infants and Juniors to install products, Trust displays and signage was from a personal point of view – both rewarding and productive in equal measure.
The visit was purposeful in many ways, but mainly because it emphasised to me how important it is that we celebrate our student’s beautiful work wherever and whenever we can.
This was made clear when I witnessed at first hand (and on more than one occasion – whilst levelling up a wonderful painting of Martin Luther King Jr. and adjusting the position of a large green caterpillar – the reaction of the children in seeing their amazing work being displayed in all its glory on the walls of their school.
Sadly I didn’t manage to photograph these priceless moments, which would’ve enhanced this blog ten-fold, but to say they were delighted would be an understatement. I could still hear the excitement in their voices when they reached the opposite end of the corridor.
I must mention the feedback that Rick and I received from Laura (LPA) and Andrea (ATU), which was very kind indeed and mutually appreciated. It is such a lovely atmosphere and environment to go and work in and we were both massively impressed by the general immersion displays across both Norton schools.
So it was a delight to be able to add to the already lustrous feel of the corridors and spaces.
All the displays and signage look incredible – they are in keeping with us as a campus whilst still celebrating everything we are as part of XP trust. The time, care and effort that has gone into your work is hugely appreciated by our whole school community. Beautiful work in action!

If you have – anywhere across the Trust – for example an unfortunate looking wall or frightful cupboard door that requires some love, then here’s the link to our Comms request form (click here). Or, if you simply would like more of the children’s beautiful work displayed then please put in a request for that instead.
After all, we all have stories and beautiful work that needs to be shared.
