Last week we hosted our first ever whole school Art Exhibition at Great Ballard.

St Margaret's Church in Eartham was the perfect place to exhibit the work with such a beautiful interior, it really made the show very atmospheric.

The exhibition showcased our GCSE Fine Art cohort of 2024, who achieved fantastic grades last year. The range of artistic skill and ideas from their two year course was shown with imaginative and thought-provoking work.

Also on display was work from our current GCSE students in both Fine Art and Photography, and a selection of work produced by pupils in every year group from Year 3 through to Year 9.

It's has been a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our artists and show the creativity and imagination of our pupils.

Pupils in all years have been inspired and enthused by the work which gives a great insight into understanding the dedication and hard work our GCSE pupils put into their portfolios.

 

Thank you to all who attended and we look forward to seeing you all next year for the annual show.
