SALE High School commissioned sculptor Tim Burgess to create a lasting memorial to a former head of year Gail Byrne, who died last year.
Tim turned a withered tree in the school grounds into an owl sculpture that is attracting many admirers.
Passers by often stop to take photos or admire the craftsmanship of the sculptor.
