Art & Design pathway pupils recently had a fantastic opportunity to work with professional artist Darrell Wakelam as part of an enrichment programme. Darrell collaborated with 67 pupils and 8 members of staff to create an amazing sculpture of J.K. Rowling’s wonderful wizard, Albus Dumbledore. Pupils created this larger than life sculpture using recycled card and papier mache over a two day period.

Pupils from Years 5 to Years 8 participated in this engaging activity, which explored creativity, developed teamwork, and promoted artistic expression beyond the standard curriculum.

The Dumbledore sculpture will take pride of place in our new reading nook along the Lower Weirfield corridor.
