We were proud to play a part in a truly meaningful occasion at St Paul’s Girls’ School, where our free-standing curtain system in midnight blue was used for the unveiling of the school’s second Fide et Literis wreath. The wreath, unveiled by the High Mistress, has been mounted on the exterior of the building near the Great Hall, an area steeped in the school’s rich history.

The Fide et Literis wreaths represent more than just tradition; they are enduring symbols of the generosity and commitment of the St Paul’s community. This latest addition stands as a visual tribute to those who have made significant contributions to the school, especially in support of its bursary fund. It’s a striking reminder of the power of collective giving and the lasting impact it can have on the lives of students.

Our free-standing curtains are designed with care and precision to suit both formal and ceremonial events, offering elegance and practicality without the need for wall mounting.
