During the summer Highgate Wood School unveiled a giant mural of England and Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford MBE.
Embodying the school’s principles and values in their ‘4Cs’ – Consideration, Contribution, Cooperation and Courtesy – the new wall art also contains an inspiring, motivational quote from Rashford himself: “Just look at what we can do when we come together.”
The mural was painted by MurWalls and funded by the Highgate Wood Parent and Staff Association (PSA).
Highgate Wood headteacher Patrick Cozier tweeted the Manchester-born star directly as he thought Rashford “might like to know” that a giant mural of him was being painted in North London. Rashford duly quote retweeted a one-word reply: “Wow”, with a heart emoji.
Assistant headteacher Jen Burniston came up with the mural idea. She said: “After such a difficult year for all students nationwide, we felt we would like to honour the phenomenal contribution from Marcus Rashford to support students on Free School Meals.”
