Ashley Church of England Primary School in Walton on Thames was delighted to receive a grant of £350 from our Society to enhance the teaching of art at the school.

After discussion with the staff and children a decision was made to bring the school grounds behind the school to the front in the form of a mural. The intention was to have an immediate impact on the parents and children about the essence of the school and the things they do to make it a rich learning environment. This includes the secret garden, pond area, vegetable plots and the chickens. The children learned a great deal about the techniques used in painting a mural and it will also be used to stimulate writing, drama and poetry.
