for the Peace Pole Dedication.

The Peace Poles form part of a drive by Rotary to tackle the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.

Anita Atkinson, Community Committee Chair of Nuneaton Rotary Club, said: “The Peace Pole is planted in a lovely clearing in the school grounds and provides the pupils with a quiet and peaceful spot in which to take time out to restore tranquility and calmness during their school day.
