"Chalice Arts delivered a really well planned Bible story project for each year group from Year 1 to Year 6. Good quality work was produced and Chalice Arts returned to help finish off the work. A really valuable contribution to raising the Christian ethos of the school through art. Highly recommended. We have booked Chalice Arts to carry out a First World War commemorative project with Year 5 and 6."
"We are so pleased with our St Peter's Painting for our assembly hall. It's much more than we imagined. It's a masterpiece - it has a real presence."
Chalice Arts returned in October and carried out two Black History workshops. Again we were absolutely delighted with the outcome.
Chalice Arts has contributed enormously to raising our Christian Ethos through art and projects to promote British Values. The contributions from Chalice Arts were really appreciated during our very successful SIAMS Inspection.
"Staff found the approach Stephen offered both stimulating and interesting whilst giving us also practical experience of creating a piece of art with a religious interpretation. Staff have already been trying out various ideas with the children, who have loved them."
"A good cross curricular and creative approach to RE and the Arts which the staff enjoyed participating in."
Chalice Arts has made a significant contribution to our school environment and this was highlighted in our very successful OFSTED Inspection. Our children have produced a lovely range of work that has really helped raise standards in art at our school. We look forward to working with Chalice Arts on a range of cross curricular project throughout the year.
