On Friday, 5 June, our Grade 11 Visual Arts students visited the National Gallery to explore the Zurbarán exhibition, a unique opportunity to experience 17th-century Spanish masterworks up close and use them as inspiration for a new unit. 🎨
Francisco de Zurbarán’s Baroque paintings show the power of symbolism, where everyday objects tell powerful stories. Inspired by this, students are now exploring the idea of a “secular saint", creating original artworks that represent contemporary experiences such as burnout, migration, or exam pressure through carefully chosen visual details.
📸 Some of these photographs were taken by Grade 11 photographer E. N., capturing the experience from a student perspective.

At Hampstead Campus, Grade 5 students presented their PYP Exhibition to the entire school community. As a culmination of their learning journey, the exhibition was a powerful testament to their inquiry, research, and collaborative skills. Instead of focusing on standardised tests like SATs, which often narrow the scope of learning, the PYP Exhibition allows our students to explore issues they are passionate about, develop solutions, and take meaningful action. This authentic demonstration of their understanding and agency is a real example of the value of an IB education, fostering not just knowledge but also critical thinking, communication, and a deep sense of responsibility towards the world around them. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the remarkable learning they showcased.
