“The event gave children the opportunity to demonstrate their creative talent and all of the ceramic tiles will be displayed at Ad Astra’s Festival of Education later this year.”

Andy Brown, the chief executive officer of Ad Astra Academy Trust, added: “All of the children have fully embraced the event. The artwork is of an exceptional standard, and I am very proud of all the pupils who participated.”
