A new art piece has taken centre stage at the Sherwood Church Academy this September. The best time to view it is as the morning sun hits as students arrive for the day. Remember to look up!

This art sculpture has been collaborative from the start with students in years 7-9 working together to combine Art and Spirituality.

Students began by considering the themes of fear and love in a student led Act of Worship. This thinking and exploration was continued in Religious Studies lessons before creating the sculpture in art.

The sculpture represents journeys from fear to love. Students developed a deeper understanding of how challenging fears can help us move to a place of embracing love, whether that is within ourselves, towards others or outwards to the world around us. The sculpture is made up of masks, butterflies and hearts, cut out of metal by students.

The masks represent fear, the butterflies represent transformation and the hearts represent love. The sculpture was designed so that light would travel the journey from one to another. In Religious Studies students explored how fear and love made them feel, and how these emotions influence their actions. Students considered what the voices of fear and love say to them and how they can listen more closely to the voice of love.

The installation of the sculpture was crafted by some clever maths from the maths department, and the site team hung it beautifully in place.

This sculpture represents students voices, unity and collaboration as well as the journey from fear to love.

Thank your to Ms Fletcher in the Art department and Hannah C from Flourish - a Dioceses of Southwell & Nottingham program - for coordinating this beautiful project.

The Decades Summer Festival was an afternoon of brilliant entertainment including some iconic 80s tunes from our performers and the popular 'teacher game show' organised by students. Our Music, Dance and Drama students showcased their hard work in front of a live audience and even the weather played along!

As well as live entertainment, festival goers enjoyed games, food & drink and stalls from local businesses and fairground rides. There was a great party atmosphere and it was lovely to see so many of you outside of the usual school day.

The Decades Summer Festival served as more than just a nostalgic party; it also raised £2,173.10 for initiatives to support our Samworth Church students beyond the usual curriculum.

A huge thank you to all the staff, students and members of our Mansfield community who volunteered their time to make this a brilliant event a success. Thank you to Maurice Hill Transport Ltd for providing the stage and all the stand holders for adding more to see and do to this wonderful event. A big thank you to musical maestro Mr Copley-Dunn, our performing arts teachers Ms Neea, Mrs Preece and Ms Gatheral, and all the students, staff and volunteers who made this event happen.

And finally thank you to everyone who came to the Decades Summer Festival for supporting the Samworth Church Academy. We'll see you again next year!
