2025 Music, Art and Design Showcase

On 20th May 2025, we were proud to host the school’s annual Music, Art & Design Showcase Evening, a vibrant celebration of the creativity and passion of our talented students. The event brought together families, friends and staff to honour the achievements of our young artists, designers and performers, who continue to inspire with their creativity and courage.

The evening began with a stunning exhibition of GCSE work from our Year 11 Art students. Visitors were treated to an extraordinary collection of artwork – from striking fashion concepts and expressive mixed media canvases, to inventive 3D constructions. Alongside this, Design Technology students presented a range of functional, problem-solving pieces, showcasing their understanding of materials, processes, and the use of emerging technologies. These works were not only technically impressive, but also full of personal meaning and creative flair.

The second half of the evening featured a concert of musical performances from pupils across both the Prep and Senior schools. With a programme that spanned genres and styles, the performances reflected the depth and diversity of musical talent at Bridgewater – and captivated the audience from start to finish.

“At the heart of the evening was a powerful reflection of what Bridgewater stands for – nurturing individuality, encouraging creativity and helping every student to flourish,” said Headteacher, Mrs Nairn.

“Our pupils showed incredible courage in sharing their artistry so openly and their work was a true testament to their dedication, imagination and pride. It was deeply inspiring to witness their passion and to see how they have grown, not just as artists, designers and performers, but as confident young people ready to make their mark on the world.”

These achievements would not be possible without the dedication and encouragement of the Bridgewater staff. Through their guidance, patience and expertise, they have brought out the very best in each student – helping them grow as learners, as artists and as confident individuals ready to shape their futures.

We commend every student involved in this year’s showcase and thank all who joined us in celebrating the spirit of creativity that lies at the heart of the Bridgewater experience.

Our highly experienced teaching team is committed to bringing hidden talent and undiscovered potential out into the light.
