A group of sixty Year 10 students received their well-deserved Bronze Arts Awards at a presentation held in school just before the half term break.
Open to young people aged between 11 and 25, the award embraces a broad range of art forms – from fashion to fine art, pottery to poetry.
To achieve this nationally-recognised qualification, the students are asked to put together a detailed portfolio to demonstrate their personal experiences of the arts.
Top students, Poppy, Fergus, Chloe and Daisy (pictured right), who all plan to continue pursuing their love of the arts after GCSE, found working towards the award extremely rewarding.
As part of the task, the four completed a six-week workshop and developed their skills in a number of visual arts, including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, graphics and presentation.
They also wrote a review for an arts event they’d attended, researched someone involved in the arts that inspires them, and passed on an arts skill to another pupil.
Head of Creative Arts, Mrs Tristham, said: “We have some great artists at Bridgnorth Endowed School and I’d like to congratulate all of these students on their hard work and enthusiasm for the Arts Award.”
“I’d particularly like to mention Fergus Edwards who gets involved in all kinds of creative arts projects and is also a super role model for the younger pupils.”
“He shows a great deal of talent in art and music, but is especially passionate about drama, which is where his future aspirations possibly lie.”
