Letter of Appreciation on behalf of the Queen

Over the summer holidays the school received a letter of appreciation on behalf of the Queen for the best wishes the school sent on the celebration of her 90th birthday.

As part of the celebration of the Queen’s birthday, we included a crown in the design of our new school badge.  This was in recognition of the many years of service that Her Majesty has given to the country and commonwealth.  We were incredibly proud of the fact she acknowledged the inclusion of this crown within the design of the new school badge.  Although Selby High School is a forward thinking school which embraces change, innovation and development, it is also a school that recognises the importance of British values, tradition and the enlightenment that an understanding of our history brings to the learning of students.

I am sure that all the students at the school will be honoured to wear the new school badge with its recognition of tradition and history of the town of Selby and the role of the school at the heart of the community.
