ISA National Art Competition 2022

The ISA National Art Competition celebrates the passion, talent and artistic achievement across more than 600 member schools, within seven ISA regions and over 125,000 pupils. We were therefore delighted to welcome the judging panel to Drywood Hall for the finals of the Northern region.

The artwork on display in this regional heat was truly remarkable and showcased the tremendous skill and creativity of all those who entered. From drawing and painting, to pottery, photography and fashion, the work produced was of an exceptionally high standard and we congratulate everyone who took part in this year’s competition.

A special mention must go to our own Poppy Boyes and Jessie Yu whose pieces were selected for the national finals and Erin May Hart-Royle who was awarded a Highly Commended in the KS5 Textiles Individual category final.

The 2022 competition brochure, featuring the works of all national finalists, is available to download here>

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