Your art sessions in our school with children from Year 2 to Year 6 have been excellent. You have not only taught our children new skills, and love and appreciation of art, but also our staff. We now have some beautiful displays around our school, which clearly reflect our Christian values - an important part of who we are. The photographs that you have taken for us are also excellent and are just what we wanted for our school website. Thank you very much, Steve.
Chalice Arts has provided several very successful art projects for us and these are now on display in our school. Steve came to our school with all the resources ready to work with the children. The projects were well planned in consultation with our staff so they enriched our curriculum and Catholic ethos. Our children have enjoyed working with an art specialist. We also benefitted from photographs Steve produced and help with displays. We have appreciated all Steve has done for us.
Stephen Bruce visited Leopold School to deliver INSETS for the teachers and TA's, following on he spent time working on the displays in the school hall. Stephen lifted the standard of creativity within the school and we received many impressive comments from parents. We were very pleased with the outcome and look forward to working with Stephen again on a painting project with KS2.
