The 2024 Caroline Bowers Art Award

It was lovely to see so many pupils and family members in school on Wednesday 3rd July during our Open Evening.  The Caroline Bowers annual Art Prize presentation ceremony took place in our Art Gallery, before our Open Evening commenced.  It was a very special and unique occasion for staff, parents and our extremely talented pupils who were nominated to have their art work displayed in Caroline's gallery.  We were very proud to welcome Mr Roy Bowers and one of his sons, Tom, who both attended the presentation; they were very impressed by the level of outstanding art work on display.  I am pleased to announce that this year, there were 2 overall winners of the Caroline Bowers Art Prize 2024, due to both pieces of art work being outstanding.  The winners were Emma Brown, who is in Year 6, and Mykola Koshevoi, who is in Year 5.  

Emma and Mykola are photographed here with Mr Bowers, his son Tom, and myself.  Well done to Emma and Mykola and to all of the pupils who have their art work displayed in our gallery.

KS2 Artwork - April 2024

Roz, who is an artist from Complex Simplicity, worked with pupils in KS2 throughout the day creating a piece of artwork for ‘Staffordshire Day’, which is celebrated on 1st May.  The day was organised by ‘We Are Staffordshire’ for their ‘Create Something’ project.  Pupils discussed what their local area meant to them and local landmarks, with the popular choice being Cannock Chase.  Roz pieced together the collaborative work completed by our pupils on a large canvas, which will be displayed at Lichfield Cathedral during Staffordshire Day 2024 (Monday 29th April to Monday 6th May).  Pictured here (left to right): Ella H, Holly H and Poppy R.  Well done to our very artistic and talented pupils who took part in this project!
