3 of our local schools are taking part in the Arts Trail this year!🎨🙌🏽
Be sure to add them to your plan for the day to see the colourful creations some of our local students have been working on recently. You'll be able to find:⁠
⁠
📍Ashton Gate Primary ⁠
Ashton Gate pupils will be celebrating the school's 150th anniversary with two collaborative artwork trees, symbolising growth, development, and the journey of learning over time.

📍Southville Primary ⁠
Pupils have been using the theme of geometric shapes and pattern to embellish lettering that will adorn the school fence. Each year group has been given an artist to inspire their given letters! The artworks will be displayed outside on the railings along Merrywood Road.

📍Holy Cross Primary
Join the team at Holy Cross for arts & craft activities alongside colourful displays of children’s artwork, as well as work from some A Level art students.
