Pupils enthusiastically participated in the Sky Arts Week this term, part of the nationwide Access All Arts Week designed for primary schools. The free programme, now in its third year, involved 9,500 schools across the UK and Ireland, highlighting the arts’ value in supporting young peoples’ health and wellbeing.
From 17 to 21 June, the children embarked on a creative journey exploring this year’s theme of ‘Connections’. Using various art materials and techniques, they connected with themselves, their peers, and developed a deeper understanding of their community.
Additionally, pupils participated in Sketch for Survival Junior, an international competition raising awareness about critical global issues such as wildlife trade, climate change, and animal extinction. In 2023, the event attracted over 3,000 entries from 93 countries, gaining significant traction.
In a recent art and history project, pupils explored the newly unveiled portrait of King Charles III, a compelling masterpiece by acclaimed artist Johnathan Yeo. They honed their observation and imagination skills by creating their own versions of the portrait, deepening their appreciation for art and historical figures.
The school is immensely proud of the creativity displayed by pupils and looks forward to partaking in more artistic projects in the future.
