Schoolchildren have been getting creative and have come up with a masterpiece of three colourful trees which now sit proudly at the entrance of their school.

Together with the help of the pupils and the school community, Colnbrook School, in South Oxhey, has unveiled its art trees with the chairman of Watford Borough Council, Cllr Rabi Martins, popping down to see the art in all its glory.

Head teacher at Colnbrook, Caroline Aplin, which is a specialist primary school for children with learning difficulties, autism, and speech and language difficulties, wanted to create a “memorable mural”.

Working with ‘No Added Sugar’, a group of artists who support art and creativity within schools who work with children with special educational needs, the children designed a number of colourful discs which have been displayed at the school entrance.

Alongside Cllr Martins for the unveiling was Reverend Liz Guest, parent governor Rob Oxhley, and Angela Stein from the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies.

Ms Aplin added: “I am overwhelmed by the fantastic artwork produced collaboratively by the school and am grateful to the community for continuing to raise the profile of our work at Colnbrook. I am very proud of the children and staff who have created this memorable mural to brighten up our school.”
