Katie reaches UK top 10

Huge congratulations to Katie S (Lower Sixth Form) who secured a top 10 place in the highly competitive UK-wide ARTiculation 2020 competition. Katie performed her presentation at Clare College Cambridge in front of Sir Nicholas Serota. The competition panel commented 

Sir Nicholas Serota CH congratulated all speakers for the enormous amount of work that they put into their presentations which clearly came across. Sir Nicholas said that Katie’s presentation had great structure, with talk of abstraction and oppositions in nature and technology.  Sir Nicholas liked how Katie’s talk mentioned the historical context of 1999 – with comparisons about water and art at the time which was really interesting.  He also said how Katie made a very good case for film being important as an art medium.   It was a great pleasure to hear Katie speak and we all hope that she is feeling very pleased with her amazing achievement.
