Reception pupils will have the exciting and unique opportunity to see their artwork exhibited at The National Gallery this summer, as part of the Take One Picture programme. The programme celebrates children’s creativity and aims to inspire a lifelong love of art and learning.
Each year the Gallery invites primary schools nationwide to focus on one of its paintings and respond creatively to its themes and subject matter, historical context, or composition. The programme aims to put art at the centre of children’s learning across the curriculum, inspiring a lifelong connection with artists’ work, museums and galleries.
This year the National Gallery has selected The Battle of San Romano (painted probably about 1438–40) by Paolo Uccello as the source of inspiration.

Junior School Head Mrs. Claire Dickerson, and Early Years teacher Miss Sarah-Louise Dunford who submitted the entry, will attend a private screening of the exhibition on the 16th June.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the girls’ creativity and showcase their response to the focus painting ‘The Battle of San Romano’ by Paolo Uccello. Having Reception’s vibrant and bright pomegranates exhibited in the National Gallery is a such a privilege and we can’t wait to see the exhibition this summer.” Miss Sarah-Louise Dunford, EYFS teacher
