It was the teachers’ turn to put their artwork on display during a two-week special exhibition.

Larkmead School, in Faringdon Road, Abingdon, staged the unusual art display in its gallery.

However, instead of showing younger artists’ work, it was the pupils’ turn to see what their teachers could do.

Members of staff were asked to submit their photographs, paintings, sculptures, textile works and even sugar craft.

Headteacher Chris Harris, who displayed his sculpture of a head, said: “I think it’s really important and symbolic of how in the school we’re making sure it’s not just students that do the learning.

“I wanted to get away from that concept of a school.

“This is symbolic of how we’re trying to close that gap of students and adults and see it as crucial that we don’t teach that staff know everything.”
