🎨🖌️ Dartmouth Academy Students Get Creative with Professional Graffiti Artist 🎨✨

Students at Dartmouth Academy have explored the world of street art after taking part in a creative spray painting workshop led by professional Bristol based artist Jody Thomas. 🎨
Facilitated by The Flavel Arts Centre, the workshop gave students the opportunity to learn new spray painting techniques and experiment with a medium they may not otherwise have experienced, under the guidance of an established artist. 👩‍🎨🖍️
Jody Thomas has been creating artwork with aerosol paints since 1988. Having developed his distinctive style alongside fellow Bristol artists including Inkie, Cheo and Banksy, Jody has exhibited at the Royal West of England Academy and at Affordable Art Fairs in New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, London and Bristol. 🌍🎨
The workshop directly supported Dartmouth Academy's Art and Design curriculum, which encourages students to develop skills across a wide range of media, techniques and processes while nurturing personal expression and aesthetic judgement. 🖌️✨
Alongside developing technical ability, the curriculum promotes historical and cultural understanding, critical thinking and the confidence to engage in wider philosophical conversations about art and its role in society. 💡📚
The workshop forms part of Dartmouth Academy's commitment to providing a broad and engaging curriculum, giving students access to inspiring experiences that develop their creative skills. 🌟👏

Nicola Perrott, Assistant Principal at Dartmouth Academy, said:

"It was fantastic to see our students embrace the opportunity to work with Jody Thomas and explore a completely different artistic medium. Experiences like this inspire creativity and allow students to learn directly from practising artists. We are incredibly grateful to The Flavel Arts Centre for making this workshop possible.”

🚔🔍 Kingsbridge Community College Students Take on Real-Life Police Challenge 👮‍♀️🚨

Year 10 students at Kingsbridge Community College stepped into the role of detectives this term as they took part in a unique police challenge event designed to provide a realistic insight into policing, community safety and the work of the emergency services. 🕵️‍♂️🧩
Delivered in partnership with Devon & Cornwall Police as part of the college's Discovery Challenge Week, the immersive experience saw students work alongside police officers during a fictional investigation, learning how evidence is gathered, witnesses are interviewed and incidents are managed. 🚓🔎
The scenario began with students responding to a simulated incident involving an injured person before progressing through the stages of a police investigation. As part of the exercise, the wider college community also took part in a planned lockdown practice, allowing students and staff to experience how schools and emergency services work together to keep people safe during an emergency. 🚨🏫
The event was carefully planned and fully risk assessed by both the college and Devon & Cornwall Police, with student wellbeing remaining a priority throughout. 💙
As well as providing a valuable learning opportunity for students, the exercise also supported police training and strengthened the partnership between the college and local emergency services. 🤝
Throughout the day, students developed problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills while gaining a greater understanding of the wide range of careers available within policing and public service. 💭💬🙌
The police challenge formed part of Kingsbridge Community College's Year 10 Discovery Challenge Week, which provides students with a range of experiences designed to broaden their horizons, develop life skills and inspire future aspirations. 🌟🎓

Tina Graham, Principal at Kingsbridge Community College, said:

"This was an incredibly valuable opportunity for our students to experience first hand the professionalism, teamwork and decision making involved in policing. By taking part in a realistic but carefully managed scenario, they were able to develop important skills while gaining a much deeper understanding of the vital role our emergency services play in keeping communities safe. We are extremely grateful to our local police colleagues for giving their time and expertise to create such a memorable learning experience."
