Raglan Primary School Community Project



Pupils from Raglan Primary School were given the chance to plan and organise their own Mayday school fate. Students have been creating their own products, and learning about media production as part of a MediaArts Community Project.

The Primary Links Project which is lead by Community Coordinator Lynsey Anderton brings together a wide range of people and disciplines to make a truly cross-curricular experience.

The project has taken place through two sessions based at Raglan Primary School and two sessions based at The Ravensbourne School. Business studies teacher Mr Connolly visited Raglan School to talk about setting up a business and explore business ideas with Year 4 pupils, whilst MediaArts Technician Sarah Beven led a portrait drawing workshop. Miss Brayley, Mrs Harrington and the Year 4 students from Raglan School then visited The Ravensbourne School to learn how to use our new screen-printing facilities, to transfer their portraits to canvas bags (which they will sell at their school fete).

The project has been filmed by Media Artist Nick Goulds assisted by his hardworking crew of Year 4 Raglan pupils, who will also return to the school to assist him in editing the film.
