Creativity takes on Covid – WCSQM competition

Creativity takes on Covid – WCSQM competition

To mark a year of creativity in lockdown, we have partnered with Forest Gate Community School‘s expressive arts faculty to create our 2020/21 competition.

Throughout 2020 our World Class students impressed and inspired us with their resilience and creativity in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our #BeCreative initiative coinciding with World Earth Day in April 2020 inspired hundreds of students to create brilliant creative pieces in lockdown that we shared as part of our 2020 Symposium, and that have now been sealed in our #BeCreative time capsule.

Our ‘creativity takes on Covid’ holiday competition invited pupils and ex-pupils to submit creative pieces entitled ‘lockdown’ to convey their individual and/or group responses to the title, in the format of their choice.
