The Art Department ran a very successful visit to the Tate Liverpool with three 6th Form and ten year 11 art students last week. They visited the DLA Piper which is a Sculpture Exhibition. Students explored the galleries and produced a series of work to enrich their GCSE coursework.

If you have not collected your summer examination certificates from school, please call in between the hours of 9.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. Your certificates are very important to you when applying for jobs and are very expensive to replace if lost or not collected.

41 students took part. Teams of 4-5 students working with a Yr. 7 Form to raise money for the Yr.7 Burrs trip. Just under £900 was raised by the teams in total. The winning team was Tom Bibbington, Hassan Akhtar, Ross Brown and Richard Bottomley.

25 students remain in the competition for round two.
