Fairfield High School swept the board at a Bristol-wide school art competition.
All three winners in the Year 7 category – Olive, Luca and Herbie – were from the school.
The competition, organised by the Victoria Methodist Church on Park Street, set the theme as Colours of Nature: embracing diversity, Students could respond to this in any media, with work being any size.
Fairfield saw a great range of artworks submitted across all year groups. In addition to the Year 7 success, two Year 10 pupils, Ismay and Martha, were recognised with ‘highly commended’ awards.
Tessa Mortimer, director of Art, DT & Engineering at Fairfield High School, said: “I am thrilled that the talent and creativity of our students has been acknowledged, with this competition giving a fantastic opportunity for the public to appreciate the incredible work of all the prize winners. This year’s competition theme resonates deeply with us at Fairfield, as celebrating diversity is at the core of our values, and we take great pride in our rich multicultural community.”
All the artwork was displayed to the public in the Victoria Methodist Church, next to the RWA Gallery. There was also a prize giving ceremony in which the Lord Mayor presented prizes.
