Pupils' artwork on display at Schools for the Future exhibition
School students and their parents flocked to the Islington Museum on Thursday
29 June for the launch of a major exhibition of students' work.
Mayor Jyoti Vaja awarded medals to children who had submitted artwork for the
competition, and twenty five of the best entrants won Borders vouchers of £25.
Ashmount school scooped a £250 prize for the outstanding entry: a huge model
of their imagined school with grounds, and individual models of specific
classrooms. The project was a group effort by the school's art club, led by
teacher Christopher Wilson.
Islington's secondary schools are about to undergo a transformation, with over
£100 million being invested in new facilities and new buildings. The ideas and
vision of the students who took part in the exhibition will form part of the
consultation with the bidders for this contract.
The exhibition is on at the Islington Museum, Town Hall, Upper Street from now
until Sunday 13th August
Schools with artwork on display include: Ashmount, Samuel Rhodes, New North
Community School, Hanover, Hargrave Park and William Tyndale
