Many thanks to Shawclough Primary School who joined us for our special ‘Absolutely African’ Workshop this week. Learners took part in a range of African storytelling, mask making, and Djembe drumming activities and each learner left with a great African safari cutout diorama to make at home.

Our latest February edition of the ‘Create!’ Arts College Newsletter is now available to download on our school website. Every tutor group has received a paper copy. Copies of the magazine are available from school upon request. Please see Mr DeCourcey for more details.

A large free-standing display looking at Leonardo Da Vinci’s impact on the Arts is on display in the CEPA Faculty. The display features a wide selection of images by the famous artist and inventor. It will remain on display for students to see until March.
