Great Blitz Build

Students from Year 7 and 8 had the honour of taking part in the city's celebration of the Blitz 85th anniversary along with hundreds of other volunteers constructing the 'Great Blitz Build' art installation. 

Coventry City Council ran week long workshops which involved creating a cardboard structure of Coventry old cathedral which was bombed during the Blitz. 

During the Tuesday session, twelve students were given instructions by Olivier Grossetête the artist who showed them how to tape together boxes that would form the roof section of the structure. 

On Saturday and Sunday the Cathedral came to life in Broadgate where members of the public could help to bring the build to life, before being pulled down to depict the cathedral bombing. Volunteers working along side our students commented on their fantastic conduct and manners throughout the session. 

Well done to Harriet, Elizabeth, Kadir, Bobby, Sienna, Anoop, Zainab, Karshin, Ava, Soraya, Gracie and Harrison. 
Thank you to Mrs Downs, Year 8 Senior Supervisory Assistant, for supporting the trip.
