National Portrait Gallery click with Year 10
This term Waldegrave School was selected as one of only four school around the country to work with the National Portaint Gallery (NPG)on a special photography programme for Year 10 students, funded by the Law Photography Programme for Schools. Photographers from the NPG came to Waldegrave to work with a selected group of 25 students from Year 10. The students were supported by Artist educators to build their photography skills, creating portraits of people within the school who are significant to them. The models included both teaching staff from a range of subjects to caretaker staff in their workroom, celebrating the whole school community and capturing a range of stories and relationships. The next step in this project was for the students to take photographic portraits as homework, considering who is significant to them from their own community and how to communicate this in a photograph. A second visit in March had students taking part in a critical discussion of the photographs they have produced to help select the images which will be considered for a photographic display at the National Portrait Gallery in June, bringing together the photographs by the four participating schools. The exhibition, ‘Through My Lens’, will be on display in the Studio Gallery at NPG from June-September 2026
