ALDWYN PRIMARY SCHOOL - YEAR 3/4 PROJECT View Video |
Many schools have asked me to work with their pupils to produce ceramics to enhance the school environment. This has led to the production of, for example, various murals on walls such as: welcome to our school, our school’s community links/environment, eco, centenary anniversary celebrations / commemorations. “On behalf of the children, staff and parents, I’d like to thank you for making such an excellent contribution to our Health Week. You demonstrated lots of skill, patience and good humour. The children absolutely loved the work which you did with them.” (Head Teacher, The Grange Primary School, Runcorn) The two slide shows below illustrate how projects to enhance the school environment and a cross curricula theme involving a cluster of schools were delivered. |

School Welcome Sign Project Simmondley Primary School in Glossop commissioned Adrian Holt to work with all of its pupils to produce a new sign to welcome visitors to the school. The design comprised two semi-circular murals of tiles erected onto a purpose built semi-circular shaped wall measuring 2m across and 1m high. |

Glossop Industrial Heritage Project In September 2005 the Glossopdale School Improvement Cluster bid for and successfully secured a grant from Derbyshire County Council for a design and technology project based on Glossop’s industrial heritage. Each school chose an aspect of Glossop’s industrial heritage. Pupils researched them, made visits to sites, and developed cross-curricula links. Pupils then worked with local ceramics artist Adrian Holt to produce panels of tiles to celebrate their work and depict the many different aspects of Glossop’s past. Over 450 pupils from 17 schools were involved, each school producing a 60 x 60 cm panel of tiles that are on display at the Glossop Community Education Centre |
