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.
Chalice Arts came to our school well-equipped and set up the workspace quickly and efficiently. Our G&T children enjoyed the challenge of working with a new medium of acrylic paint on canvas boards. The meticulous instruction had the children totally engrossed in the project and we were impressed with the high quality of the finished pieces of work. We are very keen for Steve to return!
"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."
