The School Council ran a competition when they revised the skills in 2021 and each child in the school had the opportunity to design a logo for one of the toolkit skills. The children work hard to improve these skills and, if they have demonstrated one of them, they receive a Toolkit sticker and they share their success in Collective Worship.
