The results were fantastic! The CDT and Art departments opened their doors to the public, exhibiting a diverse array of art and design work made by students from Reception to Year 8. Boys also exhibited their work at the Ashmolean for Young Art Oxford. Five Year 8 boys represented the school at the Warhammer schools’ league semi- finals against 19 other teams.
