Miss Coote (Year 3 Teacher)

This year, BGS is taking part in the Royal Mail Heroes Stamp Design Competition. Millions of key workers have kept the country going when many others were told to stay home and there have been many people who volunteered to help in their communities. Royal Mail wants to honour them by producing a set of eight stamps.

The stamps will feature designs created by eight school-aged children. They are asking children to think about who their hero or heroes are, and to then design a stamp in their honour.  A special panel of judges will pick the winning designs and the final eight stamps will be sent to Her Majesty the Queen to review before they can be printed and issued.

We are launching the competition in school over the next two weeks through our form time/assemblies.  The Heads of Houses can’t wait to see the designs that come in, and it would be wonderful to think that a member of our school (or members!) could have their designs made into real stamps. There are also money and voucher prizes for schools and the children who reach the finals.
