The NorthWall Gallery By Adam Hahn, Head of Art

community. Twice a year, visitors are able to see the best work from Shells, GCSE, A Level and IB pupils in the mixed years’ exhibition. In the IB-curated exhibition and Leavers’ Show, they can take in the top level of artwork created in School. The teachers in the Art Department are

all exhibiting artists who have also been delighted to show their work at The North Wall. In the last ten years, over 2,000 pupils have shown their work in the Gallery. OSE George Lloyd-Jones, Nettle Grellier, Billy Lloyd and Arabella MacRitchie had their first shows at The North Wall, so who knows how many future artists’ careers will be launched in coming years?

Most artists would love to exhibit their work in a public space; few get the chance. The North Wall allows our pupils a fantastic opportunity to do just that. Acting as a shop window for the talents of our art and design pupils, the Gallery is a wonderful place in which to show off their work to the wider

Boonrig, the mobile gallery-cum-home owned by OSE artists George Lloyd-Jones and Nettle Grellier.
