School Logo – Witch on a Broomstick

The flying witch appears on the pupils’ sports kit and uniforms of Warboys Community Primary School and has been used for the last 60 years. However, Will and Guy have discovered that some pupils and even some teachers have avoided the school because of this ‘scary’ logo. Opinions in the village are running high and over 1000 signatures have been obtained on a petition to keep the historic emblem.

The historical background to the witch motif is that Warboys is the last recorded place in England where witches were hanged. Apparently Alice Samuels, her husband John and her daughter Agnes were executed in 1593 after being accused by a 10-year-old girl, her four sisters and servants of causing them to have fits.

A spokesperson has stated, ‘Witchcraft and Haloween does not form part of the school curriculum and is something schools go out of their way to avoid. The school is aware that some parents choose not to send their children to Warboys and cite the witch as one of the reasons why.’

Martin Kelsey, the head teacher responsible for improving standards at the school, admitted, ‘From the villagers’ point of view, it’s an emotive issue, because they are very, very proud of their history.’

However, we have learned that the school governors seem determined to get rid of the logo as part of measures to give it a “fresh start” after poor inspection reports.
