Last week the Art & Photography department took Year 11 pupils to the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Pupils visited the gallery to study the exhibition of Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize.
Showcasing talented young photographers, gifted amateurs and established professionals, the competition, showcases a diverse range of images and tells the often fascinating stories behind the creation of the works, from formal commissioned portraits to more spontaneous and intimate moments capturing friends and family.
Pupils were searching for inspiration to contribute to their coursework and study what each artist was drawing from their work. Pupils also enjoyed a visit to Trafalgar Square to soak up the London atmosphere.
