Congratulations to our talented artists, Kiana, Holly, Dexi and Tosia, whose artwork (on the theme of littering and recycling) has been selected to feature in Brizlincote parish council's 2027 community calendar. Kiana, Holly and Dexi attended a very special event at the Brewhouse on Saturday, where their certificates and calendars were presented by the Mayor. What a brilliant achievement!

Exceptional entries for The Great Big Green Week's recycled art competition... What original and inventive ways to use recycled materials to create captivating art! A huge well done to all 14 of our imaginative artists. Green Day is taking place on Saturday 6^th June at Burton Market Hall where winners will be announced and prizes will be presented. The event includes other sustainability and community activities such as a free Repair Cafe, Eco stalls and Vegan Streetfest which brings live music, artisan bakers, ethical jewellers etc. Come and see Edge Hill artwork on display!

Some wonderful year 6 art work completed, showcasing the children's 3D sculptures which were hand drawn using the grid method.

After scaling up a silhouette with the grid method, the children then used collage to layer different etchings together and added detail and shading. They were then tasked with making a stand for their sculpture - to make it stable and freestanding. Although challenging at times, the children enjoyed the process and walking around our 'Edge Hill Gallery,' to appreciate other people's artwork alongside being proud of their own.

We are so proud to announce that 13 of our pupils were shortlisted for this year's East Side Arts calendar competition plus six of last year's Y6 who entered back in the summer term! On Saturday, Ms Barnard and the children met at the Brewhouse in Burton to see their fantastic artwork exhibited and to find out which pieces had been selected for next year's community calendar. The theme was 'peace and unity' which inspired some truly beautiful and thought-provoking art. We heard from the Deputy Mayor of East Staffs, Monica Holton, and local artist Joe Fox, who judged the entries. Huge congratulations to all our talented artists: Pippa H-J, Myla P,  Gracie F, Sonia A, Alya S, Isabelle L, Reece C, Paige W, and Kianah K and winners Orla L, Maja W, Holly H and Sophia E. What an incredible achievement for every single one of these artists - one to be proud of forever!
