MORE ART NEWS!

‘The Railway Children’
Despite the distractions of modular exams and school trips, our
Year 10 Gifted and Talented Artists managed to complete all four
murals for the Gloucester Railway Station improvement scheme.
The murals were officially presented to the station
on Friday 8th July in a ceremony attended by
Richard Graham MP and local artist PJ Crook and
will then go on permanent show on Platform 3
later in the year. Ten schools across the City were
involved so do look out for St Peter’s work
amongst the display! Many congratulations to PJ
who gained an MBE in the recent Birthday
Honours, we are all thrilled that her fantastic work has been recognised.
You may recall PJ visited the school a few weeks ago to talk to the
students and give advice on the completion of the murals. Well done to
all the students involved and to our two trainee
Art teachers, Chloe Robinson and Felicity Hughes
Games who led the project. The students involved will be going
to London next term courtesy of Great Western Railways for a
visit to the Houses of Parliament with Richard Graham, and an art
gallery. Congratulations to Kate Altham, Georgi Henry, Catherine
Glanville, Lauren Gower, Priscilla Mwale, Frances Diamond,
Rachel Douglas-Phillips, Liam Mustoe-Linnane, Joe Jennings,
Kameron Blair and Jack Hardiman.
