PROJECT HOPE: the community at St Mary’s Primary school, Oxted comes together for an artistic quest like no other

St Mary’s ‘Hope Project’ was designed to mark the end of the pandemic, reflect on the things that have given the school community hope as they lived through it and also to help mark the school space with their hopes for the future.

In the attached newsletter headteacher Sarah Lewis gives a detailed outline of the project, from the initial vision to its ongoing legacy. She describes how the school worked with partners (Delight, The Watts Gallery and artist Hanna Maiya-Mills) and the impact the project has had upon the school community in the school’s newsletter.
