Riddlesdown in the picture

The BRIT school entertained two visitors from Riddlesdown school with a view to looking at the schools provision for photography. Sam Hurley Head of Art at Riddlesdown and Jess Smith who will be teaching the new photography AS course at the school visited Leading Edge manager and BRIT photography teacher Chris Lewington to discuss course implementation and look around the BRIT school darkroom and photo studio.They also discussed AS delivery with leading Edge art manager Harrie Poole. Hopefully there are future prospects of a photography project involving both schools.

Its all Rocket Science for Selhurst children

Following on from the schools Little peoples day some of our year 10 BRIT students helped with a trip to the Science museum with Selhurst children's centre. The students accompanied the children by coach up to central London. At the museum the children saw the exhibits of space rockets and astronauts and then had a fun time in the museum's own experiential learning facility where the laws of science can be tested out to the rigours of play time. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and managed to wear out all our students into the bargain.

Power to the Little People!

July 1st saw a special day organised for many of our neighbouring nursery and early years schools. Year 10 students put on a selection of events and shows around the theme of Space and invited the schools to spend a day with us in outer space. There were shows from dance (Setara and her journey to the stars), theatre, music, musical theatre and even glove puppets with visual art and design. The day started for the children with the mad professor making his test tubes bubble and explode and along the way the nursery children met with the planets and other astrological themed characters.
And did the children enjoy it? Well here's a response from one of the local nursery schools
"it was a fantastic day - we had a great time. We received lot of comments from the parents saying how wonderful the students are and also just how talanted. We appreciated that the students were so kind and caring towards our children.

Thanks to you all the staff and students for organising a great day."


Best Wishes
