Amongst the crowd admiring the impressive collection of art work, we found Miss Hughes, a lower school teacher at the school who proudly showed us the “mixed-up” creations of her class – imaginative drawings of creatures such as the “Crabatake” by Herdel – a mix of a crab, bat and a snake and the “Deerbeechickat” by Fernando – a combination of a deer, bee, chicken and a rat!

Also in attendance at the show were Mr Harry Magee, Headmaster at the Abraham Lincoln School, who talked of the “tremendous artistic talent which our students demonstrate” whilst proudly showing off the show and Miss Deborah Stewart, Head of Primary School Art, who in Harry’s words “did a fantastic job of coordinating and displaying the students’ work.” And for the 7th year running, Mr. James Adams, Head of Secondary School Art presented the remarkable mature and sophisticated artwork of the school’s older pupils.
