More than 300 pupils will get the chance to see their own art at the famous Saatchi Gallery.

Enfield students have been honing their artistic flair over the past year and now they will be able to see their work at the gallery in King's Road.

Working with artists led by Head of Education at the Saatchi, Rozenn Logan, students have taken inspiration from a current exhibition at the gallery set up in 1985, Pangaea II: New Art From Africa and Latin America.

The project was started by the Jack Petchey arts programme.

Alison Grassham, head of art at Winchmore School, said: “It has been a pleasure to build relationships with staff delivering the project and also from other Enfield schools. There should be more opportunities for schools to work together within their local borough and beyond.”

“The teachers training evening, which was hosted at Winchmore, was superb, fun, invigorating, a tool kit of new ideas using new media which could be injected straight into the classroom."

"The pupils have relished the experience of working with a practising artist and have been amazed by their opportunity to work with Charlotte Young in the prestigious Saatchi Gallery.

Keith Graham, head of art and design at Southgate School, said: "They are thrilled at the privilege of having their own work exhibited alongside the Pangea exhibition. We hope that the programme continues in the future."

The seven schools that took part included: St Ignatius College, Aylward Academy, Edmonton County School, Broomfield School, Winchmore School, St Anne's Catholic High School and Southgate School.
