The community came together to finish the Black Mount Primary Community Art Project with Artist Ellen McCann

In 2019 the school children, families and wider community came together to contribute to a Community Arts project at Black Mount Primary School.

Inspired by bees and their honeycomb hives, people were invited to make a tiles as part of a panel of hexagon tiles with each tile representing something of the local area. 

The work is now installed in the entrance to the school - a launch event will follow.

We held our first community consultation, following a public survey, on 11th January 2023 at 6-7pm. Some brilliant ideas came out of this and we are looking at what funding might help us get started.

Parents Evenings in March 2023. The parent council was there to gather your thoughts/ideas.
