This year, students in Art Club took part in an inspiring Harpur Trust art competition based on the theme Aspire: Nurturing Your Potential.

 The brief encouraged pupils to reflect on their dreams, ambitions and personal goals, whether thinking about future careers or everyday achievements.

Our students responded with creativity and enthusiasm, producing thoughtful and imaginative artwork. We are extremely proud of the effort and creativity shown throughout the project.

We are delighted that Abigail Yuille (Year 7) and Farwah Chowdhury (Lower Sixth) have had their work selected for exhibition at The Higgins Bedford, an excellent achievement. We are especially pleased that Farwah has also been put forward for a prize.

Well done to all who took part, and best of luck to Abigail and Farwah at the exhibition!

You can view all the winning entries here. The exhibition opens from Saturday 20th June - Sunday, 4th October 2026 at the Sir William Harpur Gallery, The Higgins Bedford.
