Rossett School's art exhibition was held last month.

The artistic talents of local schoolchildren was on display at the latest Red Kite Learning Trust art exhibition.

The event was held on Wednesday 26th March, featuring stunning artwork created by students from Rossett School.

This exhibition highlights the artistic talent of Year 9, 10, and 12 students and will remain on display in the Trust Central Office Gallery until September 2025, when another school in the Trust will have the opportunity to showcase their work.

Curated by Rossett School’s Art Lead, Mrs Lynda Dean and her team, the exhibition features a diverse range of artistic styles and mediums.

Speaking about the exhibition, she said:

“Our students were thrilled to be given the chance to display their work in the Trust Gallery.

“They embraced the opportunity with enthusiasm, producing an outstanding collection of pieces that reflect their creativity and personal interpretations.

“It was a challenge to select the final works, given the high standard of entries, and we tried to include as much as we could.

“We are incredibly proud of what they have achieved.”

The open evening was branded a “resounding success”, welcoming students, families, staff, and trustees from the Rossett School and wider Trust community for a “lively and celebratory” atmosphere.

Visitors had the opportunity to admire the artwork, speak with the artists, and learn more about their inspirations and creative processes.

Rossett School Headteacher, Mr Tim Milburn, led a round of applause for the young artists.

He said:

“We are incredibly proud of our students and their artistic accomplishments.

“They have worked so hard and demonstrated their resilience in completing the work to such a high standard.

“This exhibition is a fantastic platform for them to share their creativity with a wider audience, and the response from visitors has been overwhelmingly positive.

“The opportunity to showcase their work in a professional setting is an experience they will cherish for years to come.”
