Time Capsule Competition

Students and staff have the chance to pick items to be buried in a time capsule. The capsule, which is the size of two shoe boxes, is going to be buried in the floor of the main reception in the new school. It will be filled with items that echo the school’s past glories and should give students of the 22nd century a feel for life in our time. The closing date for ideas is 20 March and there are prizes for the winners whose items get buried.

New School ... New Name... New Logo

Salt Grammar has proudly unveiled its brand new logo ahead of the new school opening in September. The logo has been designed to reflect the history of Salt while signaling the start of a new era. It also incorporates the name chosen for the new school by the community in a recent ballot. Headteacher Sue Mansfield said: “September is the 140th anniversary of the first school being opened in Saltaire. We are proud that the new Titus Salt School opens on this historic occasion and gives us the opportunity to celebrate our long history. Our new logo and school name clearly shows our intention to maintain strong links with the past as we take the new school forward.”
