Year 10 Fine Art Students Find Inspiration at Tate Britain

 

 

Our Year 10 Fine Art students recently visited Tate Britain in London, where they explored the gallery as part of their coursework. The trip, designed to complement their studies, focused on key works of art that will serve as inspiration for their upcoming projects.

A major highlight of the visit was the chance to engage deeply with the works of Henry Moore, a renowned British sculptor. Moore’s sculptures are central to the students’ coursework, as they draw on his style for a sculpture project they are currently undertaking. The students soaked up the atmosphere in the galleries, taking the time to learn how to truly observe and analyse the art around them.

In addition to Moore’s sculptures, students also studied the horse paintings of George Stubbs, which proved particularly valuable. As students are working on capturing animal behaviour in their own mixed-media projects, Stubbs' detailed and expressive depictions of horses provided them with new techniques and inspiration for their work.

The trip not only enriched the students' understanding of key artists but also enhanced their ability to analyse and interpret fine art in a way that will inform their creative process.

Pupil journalist Sam B secures national 'Student Voices' award

Our  talented pupil, Sam B, Year 9, has been named one of just five winners nationwide in the prestigious ' The Day's Student Voices Young Journalist Awards 2026. Sam B clinched the honour with a compelling, insightful opinion piece titled, “Life Isn't All Sunshine And Rainbows But It's Not Doom And Gloom Either.” The competition judges praised the passion, positivity and exceptional eloquence of Sam’s writing. As part of the winner's package, the article was officially published on The Day’s global Student Voices platform on 15th June, alongside the national announcement of the competition winners. Sam’s award-winning article takes critical aim at the modern media landscape, arguing that mainstream platforms rely on sensationalism and fear to drive reader engagement. The piece contrasts historical anxieties with today's relentless news cycle, which feeds on global catastrophes. While acknowledging real hardships, Sam warns that constant access to bleak updates is mentally exhausting and traps younger generations in a false sense of hopelessness.  Far from advocating for purposeful ignorance, Sam urges readers to stay informed while remembering how far humanity has progressed. The essay highlights that we are living in a golden age of technology and medical achievement.  Ultimately, the award-winning piece serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's inherent resilience and proven ability to thrive in the face of adversity. As Sam beautifully concludes, "It's important to keep positive, because whatever happens, humans always adapt and never lose hope." The entire St Clement Danes community extends its warmest congratulations to Sam on this incredible achievement
