Building ceramic pots in Art
Throughout the Autumn term 2022, we were delighted to work with students from our multi-academy trust (MAT) partner ELAN’s primary schools to create some beautiful neolithic ceramic pot artwork.
Our Head of Art, Johannah Egan, gave a masterclass to representatives from each of the schools and provided the materials for creating some beautiful pots in their lessons in school. Their creations were fired in our kiln and the participating students then came together for the grand unveiling of an exhibition showcasing their work, complete with photos of the art-making process.
The students said how proud they were to see their work showcased – and rightly so! Below are photos of the creative process in action, and resulting exhibition.
Swimming gala 2023
On 23rd January, our J6 Junior swimmers joined ELAN representatives for our annual swimming gala in the Sidcot School Sports Centre pool. As always, there were some closely-contested races (including the much-loved ‘noodle relay’), and all the swimmers made their schools very proud of their tireless hard work.
Our thanks to all of the participating schools at both of these events, including: Bournville Primary School, Locking Primary School, Oldmixon Primary School, Mead Vale Primary School, Mendip Green Primary School, Milton Park School, Walliscote Primary School and Windwhistle Primary School.
