Bridgewater School's entries for the ISA Art Competition 2021

Congratulations to the following students whose artworks were selected to represent Bridgewater School in this year’s regional qualifier of the Independent Schools Association (ISA) National Art Competition:

  • Isabelle Harrison for her skeleton and lighthouse pieces (KS1 – Sketchbook section)
  • Freya Melia’s ‘Hangman’ grey tonal study (KS4 – Art 2D)
  • Rosie Edwards’ ‘Birthday Dinner Reflections’ (KS5 – Drawing)
  • KS1 for their ‘Sunflowers’ group entry.

Held annually, with entries from over 500 of the UK’s best independent schools, the National Art Competition is a celebration of ideas with dozens of categories covering different age groups and genres, from 2D art, through to fashion and photography.

Following judging for the Northern region, we are delighted to announce that Prep pupil Isabelle Harrison has since been awarded 1st place in the Key Stage 1 Sketchbook category and Freya Melia achieved a wonderful 2nd place in the 2D Art Individual Key Stage 4 group in the national finals. A fantastic achievement.

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