Key stage 4 and 5 art students enjoyed a trip down to London to visit the National Portrait Gallery to see the BP Portrait Award exhibition. After lunch and a brief stop at Trafalgar Square to watch the street performers the students then visited the Mall Galleries near Buckingham Palace for the National Students Art Exhibition. It was great to see the 21 artworks on display from Sawtry VA students as well as all the other best artwork from around the country. ‘I really enjo...yed this trip.To see other students work and ideas is really helpful as it gives an idea of the level of art you need to aim at. For me this trip made me look forward, plan and challenge my work ready for my A level in Art. ‘ Ben Adams ‘I was so amazed and proud of myself to have been selected for the NSAE amongst other incredible art pieces. It was such a huge achievement.’ Amy Bogusz
