VISITORS to Worcester Cathedral in the summer will be able to see art produced by students at a Tenbury School.

Year 9 students at Tenbury High Ormiston Academy, sponsored by Ormiston Academies Trust have teamed up with artist Sally Harper to illustrate their artistic talents.

Students from the school worked alongside Birmingham-based Miss Harper to create a piece of public art which will be displayed as part of the Young Voices New Visions exhibition at Worcester Cathedral between June 20 and July 11.

Funded in partnership with Meadow Arts, the students designed around the theme of gratitude, which gave them the opportunity to reflect back on the silver linings they had found in the challenging past year.

As well as this, it allowed the students to fully immerse themselves in a creative project across the two day practical workshop, and look optimistically towards the future.

This enrichment project is part of Tenbury High’s broader commitment to providing students with creative projects and a varied, engaging education. They look to collaborate with Meadow Arts every year, in turn providing a positive bridging experience between key stages three and four.

“We are incredibly proud of not just the artistic skill of our students, but the dedication and concentration they showed across the two day workshop,” said Vicki Dean, principal at Tenbury High School Ormiston Academy.

“Despite the challenging year we have all had, we absolutely have many things to be grateful for, and we were so glad and thankful to partner with Meadow Arts and Sally Harper to bring this theme to life.

“I can’t wait to see this work exhibited at the Cathedral, and of course to see whether our talented students pursue a career in Art!.”

Tenbury High School has a rich tradition for its art work.

Last year one of the students at the school designed the card that was used at Christmas by Eric Hudson, Mayor of Tenbury.

Like other schools it has been a very tough year with students having to do a lot of their learning from home.

For the second year in succession, students in their final year, will not take examinations in the normal way but will have their grades set by teachers.

Traditional events have had to be cancelled and different arrangements made for parents’ evenings and for prospective new pupils to view the academy.

Students have also had to contend with regular Covid-19 testing.
