THERE is little chance of youngsters at Millbank Primary forgetting the core values of their school, which went through a £4.6 million refurbishment last year, thanks to a new mural. The mural, which was erected by local signwriter Ed Lamont, urges pupils to be comfortable with themselves, to do the right thing and, above all, to be generous and kind to others. Head teacher Rosemary Garrity said: “It’s been a long road to get to this mural, we’ve done a lot of work on the
school’s values involving pupils, the parent council, staff and the wider community. “After the refurbishment work at the school was finished we thought the wall where the mural is now looked bare and it would be a good idea if we
could put something up that reflected the school’s core values of respect, fairness and perseverance. These are embedded in everything we do. I think the mural is the perfect representation of the journey we have been on to get to where we are now as a school.” Four new classrooms were added to the school to create a bright, new learning environment, as well as a new boiler, doors and insulation.
