Greenside’s Art Teacher, Jill Chesney, shared her pride in Martha’s achievement:
The Show Racism the Red Card competition encourages pupils to use art, writing and creativity to challenge racism and promote equality—values that align strongly with our Trust’s commitment to inclusion, respect and celebrating diversity. Martha’s success reflects the creativity, empathy and ambition we strive to foster across all our schools.
The entire school community, along with colleagues across our Trust, is incredibly proud of Martha’s dedication, talent and the positive message behind her work. Everyone looks forward to celebrating her achievement at the national awards ceremony.
Congratulations, Martha, on this outstanding national success!
