Earlier this month, a group of our Y10 students embarked on an unforgettable journey to Seville, Spain, for a cultural and linguistic immersion experience. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for an adventure.

Our itinerary was packed with incredible experiences. We explored the breathtaking Plaza de España, where students marvelled at the intricate tilework and even reenacted scenes from famous films shot there. The Alcázar was another highlight, transporting us back in time with its stunning Moorish architecture and lush gardens. We also had the chance to visit the iconic bullring, La Maestranza, where we learned about Spain's deep-rooted bullfighting traditions.

One of the most exciting parts of the trip was experiencing an authentic flamenco dance performance. The passion and energy of the dancers left us in awe, and some of our students even tried a few moves themselves! Another unforgettable day was our visit to Córdoba, where we explored the breathtaking Mezquita-Catedral and strolled through the charming Jewish Quarter, soaking in the city's rich history and culture.

Beyond the sightseeing, students had the chance to practice their Spanish in real-life situations, ordering tapas, navigating the city, and engaging with locals. Some even discovered a new love for churros con chocolate! A particularly memorable moment was when a few brave students joined a spontaneous flamenco performance, impressing even the locals with their enthusiasm.

This trip was more than just an educational experience—it was a chance to bond, step out of our comfort zones, and embrace the beauty of Spanish culture. Many students returned with a newfound confidence in their language skills and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped making this trip possible. We can’t wait for the next adventure!

On January 29th, Year 9 students had the exciting opportunity to participate in a pottery workshop led by visiting artist. This hands-on session allowed students to explore clay techniques, develop their creative skills, and gain insight into the 3D artistic process.

The workshop is designed to inspire and support students considering Art for GCSE, offering them a unique chance to learn from professional artists.

Exciting announcement!!  Secondary Art has partnered with the new community centre on the peninsula to exhibit some of our students' artworks. The artworks were showcased at the grand opening of the GMV Community Centre on Wednesday, November 20th.

Ms. Anderson, the Head of Art at SMM, met with Councillor Jit Ranabhat, Mayor of the Royal Greenwich Borough, to discuss the importance of schools engaging with broader community events. Displaying students' artwork in such spaces elevates the profile of Art in our community and serves as significant publicity for our school.

We are incredibly proud of our student's achievements for this opportunity to share their creativity with the community. We invite you to join us in celebrating the students’ work by visiting the  GMV Community Centre located at 2 Oswald Gardens, London, SE10 OSH ( just 6 mins walk  from SMM school)
