Pleckgate, which was crowned Lancashire Telegraph Secondary School of the Year at the recent Education Awards, became an Academy in February and has started to rebrand to bring in the new era.
Students in English lessons, across year groups, helped to form the new motto of: ‘Aspire and Believe, Act and Succeed’ while the new logo was designed in art classes.
“It’s a new era for the school so we decided to consult with students, parents and staff to set a new direction and it is only correct that all members of the school community have a huge input into that,” said Headteacher Mr Cocker.
“The new logo reflects our tradition and history while the motto sums up our approach to success in our school which, after our impressive GCSE results last year, is in the top five in the UK, based on similar schools, according to the Department for Education.
“Our motto is a recipe for success. We encourage high aspirations, we believe we can achieve them, we will act and work hard for them and that will lead to success.”
