Art teacher Jo Middleton said: “The exhibition focussed on creativity and expression and showcased a selection of high-quality work produced from the lower school, GCSE and A-level pupils.

“The school specialises in supporting boys with additional educational needs such as dyslexia, AD(H)D and mild ASD, and the whole school ethos is to allow freedom of expression, explore possibilities and, most importantly, encourage the boys to develop their self-esteem and promote this exploration in a safe and nurturing manner.

“The pupils were delighted to see their individual work as a collection on display in a professional environment. They have achieved so much.”
