Pupil’s work selected for the RA Young Artists' Show

I saw this view from the school window and asked my teacher if we could use my one to one art session to draw them. I liked the birds sitting on the top of the lamp post.

- Khaiyron

We are incredibly proud to share that our former pupil, Khaiyron, has had his drawing selected for the Royal Academy’s Young Artists’ Summer Show 2025 - a prestigious national exhibition that celebrates the creativity of young people across the UK.

Khaiyron’s artwork was submitted by specialist art educator, Kate Hodgson, during his time at our school. It was chosen from thousands of entries nationwide and is now featured in the Royal Academy of Arts' online gallery. This is a fantastic achievement and a true reflection of Khaiyron’s talent and dedication to his craft.

Ms Hodgson said "Drawing is a foundational skill for human creativity and children need encouragement in all kinds of drawing skills from their imaginary drawings - to keen observational drawings. Khaiyron and this drawing are a beautiful moment of observation captured through drawing. I hope now he has had his drawings nationally recognised he will continue to focus on his drawing and build his skills through his education". 

We are delighted that Khaiyron’s talents have been celebrated and recognised at a national level. Well done, Khaiyron!
