On Friday, parents and our Sixth Form A-Level Art students are invited to a coffee morning with special guest Caroline de Peyrecave, who will introduce her powerful new exhibition `Empowering Her`.

Featured portraits include Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, General Dame Sharon Nesmith, Emma Barnett, Lady Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Daryl Fielding, Zoe Stratford and Sally Phillips.
After the coffee morning, Year 6 pupils will take part in a workshop at the gallery, exploring the exhibition and the stories behind these inspiring women.
And don’t forget to wear purple on Monday, the official colour of International Women’s Day! 💜
