Last December, Wiltshire based blacksmith artist Melissa Cole visited JHQ to talk to parents and pupils about JHQ and what the closure meant to them.
Her mission was to offer expertise and advice on how to design and make a memorable sculpture to commemorate the impending closure of Ark School.
Together they came up with the concept of a British post box with metal wands attached with a bird on the end of these – representing the pupils' migration, with the chance of some of the children re-gathering in another destination.

TWO British civilians have been jailed for sexual offences against teenage girls they met through a social networking site.
Pals Simon Birch, 29, and Aaron Mawson, 21, took British girls aged
between 14 and 16 to the former’s flat in BFG to seduce after befriending them on Facebook.
NAAFI worker Birch pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual activity with a child, and teaching assistant Mawson admitted three charges of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust.
At their court-martial on May 23, Birch received two years’ imprisonment and Mawson received 18 months’ imprisonment.
Sentencing, Judge Advocate Alan Large told the two men they had been involved in a “campaign to attract a group of girls…to engage in sexual activity with them”, meeting them in person to “gain their confidence and affection”.
