"There is no doubt in my mind that this plaque represents a unique achievement for a small school such as ours.  It is a good example of a project being undertaken with an �artist in residence� and has involved not only staff, children, and their parents but also others from the wider community.

 Thanks are due to many people but above all to Dorothy for her persistence when the going got tough,  her inspiration, her enthusiasm with the children and undoubted skill and excellence in her own field of sculpture."

Some comments from the children:  

�I hope that the sculpture lasts through the years so that people in the future can see what it was like when I was at school.�  

I liked doing the plaque because I like art.  It looks good on the wall and I think lots of people visiting the village will look at it.�  

�I hope it will last forever as it will remind people of the history of Parracombe and the children who helped out.�
