Celebrating the Arts at Forest View Primary School
This year, we’ve been enriching our curriculum by weaving the Arts into our learning, with a special focus on celebrating pride in our local area—particularly our beautiful coastline.
Over the past half term, your children have embraced the role of artists, working creatively on a project inspired by our local environment. Now, they’re excited to showcase their final pieces and share their artistic journey with you.
You are warmly invited to visit the Forest View Primary School Art Gallery to view your child’s artwork. To give our pupils a taste of what it’s like to be a professional artist, you’ll also have the opportunity to bid on their artwork, starting at just £1. All proceeds will go directly back into supporting the Arts at our school, providing even more creative opportunities for our children.
Gallery Opening Times:
We hope you can join us for this special celebration of creativity and talent!
