On Saturday 7th May we were delighted to showcase the Art and photography work of our year 7, 8 and 9 pupils in an exhibition in the Powell gallery, followed by a prize giving. We are privileged to have local artist Laura Dennis as our judge. Laura is a well-established artist, best known for her paintings in watercolour and oils. Laura says of her work:’ my practice seeks to explore and interpret my surroundings in a way that evokes a sense of nostalgia and the liminal space between seeing and feeling our environment’. We were proud of all the pupils work and it was wonderful to be able to celebrate their talents. Our thanks goes to The Friends for generously sponsoring our prizes and to Rupert Poole for accompanying the judge on the day.
