Prize Winners' Rehearsal, until 11:30am
Preparing for an exhibition takes considerable time, and this year was no exception. However, we faced the added challenge of relocating the exhibition from Old House to the art studios. Many hours were dedicated to creating and assembling the panels, as well as clearing out the department to transform it into a spacious and eye-catching area.
The A Level pupils have been working tirelessly for two years, and they had a substantial body of work to showcase. In total, 96 units of work were displayed from both GCSE and A Level art courses, as well as History of Art.
Friday, 23rd May, was a wonderful evening of celebration. The rooms and corridors of the department were filled with excited pupils discussing their work, alongside proud parents and staff. It was heartening to invite the local community to view the exhibition, and the feedback received was highly complementary. Showcasing and celebrating pupils' work beyond the school community is incredibly important.
Outside on the lawn, we hosted a silversmithing workshop, large chess games, and additional artwork displays.
We are fortunate to have an exceptionally talented A Level cohort who delivered outstandingly. They rose to the challenge, and we are immensely proud of their achievements. Next year, the exhibition will also be held within the department, and we aim to make it equally exciting. We are already planning for it.
