legend has it that cofa's tree was a tree that was planted by a man called cofa, by the settlement, whenthe settlement was and come to it with ease, and cofa's tree, over the years, apparently became coventry. the banners on the approaches are designed by local schoolchildren, reflecting the themes of today's event. three of them — daniel, frankie and cristian — along with teacher nina, are from the coventry extended learning centre, a pupil referral unit for children struggling in mainstream education. they helped design the banner on the theme of socialjustice. i drew a mouth to project why everyone should - have the freedom of speech. a lot of our students have come here because they have been either manage—moved or permanently excluded. mainstream hasn't worked for them for whatever reason. for them to come here and be part of the banner creation is great pride for me, for them and for their parents, because they've had such a difficult journey and just to be seen in a different light is really amazing. it makes us look like i we have a really great achievement in our lives, - showin
