As part of the house system at William Howard School, students and staff have been asked to nominate their Hero with the aim of compiling a ‘Hero Wall’. Associate headteacher Tracey Hill initiated the idea and set the ball rolling by nominating her hero, British astronaut Major Tim Peake. Tracey said: “I proposed Tim Peake as my hero because he came from an ordinary background but worked his way from waiter to helicopter pilot to astronaut on the International Space Station by demonstrating incredible personal resilience”. The student heads of house made a short video to encourage the school community to think about what makes a hero and ask who they would nominate.
