'Moving On' statue at Beechwood School.

School:

Beechwood High School (Slough, Berkshire).

Beechwood School in Slough was relocated in 2007 as part of a PFI build. Prior to this, a 'Moving On' sculpture was commissioned to mark the event and commemorate the old school. 

The statue was originally erected walking away from the old building. It’s now been re-sited outside the new school entrance, walking towards it. 

The statue is fabricated from stainless steel foot outlines drawn from students feet. A trail of mosaic footprints is set in the ground following the statue, leading back to the old school site.

    

Pupils based their mosaic designs on memories of Beechwood school and thoughts of 'Moving On'.

Funding for the residency was provided jointly by the school and Creative Partnerships.
