On Thursday 27 September, the Art team took over 100 Year 7 students to Burghley House, Stamford. 

The students experienced a day full of exciting activities including a guided tour of Burghley House where they learned about how people lived in the Tudor times. We walked through the house, including the Tudor kitchen, and witnessed the beautiful Heaven and Hell rooms which had impressive painted ceilings. 

Students then took a walking tour through the sculpture garden and had the opportunity to pick their favourite work of art to sketch. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of impressive sculptures to choose from. 

After exploring the grounds, students participated in a workshop with the resident artist, where they used different coloured wire to create their own dragonflies and butterflies. Some of the work produced was incredible.
