This month, schools across the Trust came together to celebrate creativity at our Trust-wide Art and Design Technology Exhibition, held over two inspiring evenings. The event showcased the very best of student achievement, with Year 11 students proudly presenting their final pieces alongside a stunning selection of work from our most talented artists in Years 7, 8 and 9.
The exhibition was also an opportunity showcase the artwork of primary children from across the Oak Trust. Young artists from Overdale Junior School, Overdale Infant School, Woodland Grange Primary School and Brookside Primary School were selected to exhibit their work, highlighting creativity from pupils as young as Foundation.
With over 350 visitors attending across the two evenings, the exhibition was a true celebration of artistic talent and community. Despite the hot weather, the event remained vibrant and well-attended, providing an inspiring experience for all who visited.
A particularly special feature of the event was the opportunity for visitors to engage directly with the artwork by voting for their favourite piece from each school. This interactive element encouraged conversation and reflection, and allowed students of all ages—from Year 2 through to Year 11—to feel recognised and valued for their creativity.
Overall, the exhibition was a fantastic success, showcasing the breadth and quality of art and design across the Trust while inspiring the next generation of young artists.
