To commemorate the opening of the Discovery School, Kings Hill in September 2003, the DfES financed a piece of sculpture. Working with the Local Education Authority and the school, Jonathan Hately was chosen to design a bronze sculpture which could be placed outside the front of the school for pupils, teachers and parents to enjoy. A central part of the design was the Discovery School logo which is an apple embellished with the map of the world. Jonathan designed the sculpture with this as the centre piece with two children either side of it. The children, one boy, Zachary Bevans and one girl, Emma Davies, were randomly selected from the class which was the Foundation class when the school opened. The figures are based on these two children. The sculpture was installed at the front of the school on 10th May 2005 much to the delight of the staff and pupils. The official unveiling of the sculpture took place in July 2005. |
