Manchester Bee Badge Winners | 2024

We now have an annual tradition of purchasing Manchester bee badges from The Whitworth gallery on our yearly Y13 Manchester trip. These badges are awarded to students who worked super productively on the day researching and producing superb drawings and/or photographs, and did a fantastic job of their visit pages in their sketchbook. This year we would also like this to include a general 'great start to your ESA!', as all these students not only worked hard on the trip, but have worked extremely hard for the entire start of their exam.

Here are the 4 students that we have been super impressed with and are awarding this years badges to! Well done folks!

'Living the Dream' Nominations | SFCA Competition

 This year's Sixth Form College Association National Art Exhibition is themed 'Living the Dream'. This online exhibition will take place from the 14th to the 30th of June this year, and we have already made our nominations for our entries from the Exploring Media work submitted by our Y12 students! 

The brief for 'Living the Dream' is as follows:

"There are people we meet, things we do and places we go, that make the heart sing, whether a gentle melody or a full choral crescendo. They can be obviously delightful or surprisingly ordinary. But they have a particular significance and an importance, fleeting or long-lasting, in our lives.

What has made your heart sing this year? What has brought you joy? How might you convey the power of those feelings through your art?

Students’ work might depict actual people, events and places, or it might represent a more abstract expression of how it feels to be Living the Dream."

We have nominated one student per title for the exhibition. Congratulations folks!
