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)

Valencia, the third-largest city in Spain, stands as a beacon of pride and elegance, captivating our students with its breathtaking beauty. Combining tradition with modernity, Valencia effortlessly enchants the senses with its authentic atmosphere.

The experience in Valencia proved to be unforgettable for all, not only due to its renowned festivals, but also for leisurely strolls along its bustling streets and charming squares, where one can't resist stopping at a bar for refreshing drinks and delectable tapas. The highlight undoubtedly was the famous 'Fallas' festival, an integral part of Valencia's cultural heritage.

Our itinerary included visits to iconic landmarks such as the Cathedral, Europe's largest aquarium (el Oceanográfico), La Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Malvarosa beach, and the Mestalla, home to Valencia football stadium. Additionally, students had the unique opportunity to participate in a paella cooking lesson, sourcing fresh vegetables for their salads directly from the land. Exploring local markets and indulging in souvenir shopping added to the enriching experience.

It was truly a pleasure to accompany such an exceptional group of students on this journey. I couldn't be prouder of each and every one of them.
