Great Work Skye: Career Insight for Student

Year 9 student, Skye, stepped up to become a photographic shoot assistant, learning how to transfer creative skills beyond the classroom.

We were delighted to welcome back award-winning photographer Alison McKenny, earlier this term to capture scenes from school life that we will use across our many media platforms.

Preparing for photographic shoots requires insight, planning and creative skills to ensure that everything is in the perfect place, ready for the click of Alison’s camera. Skye was able to join the marketing team for the day, helping to arrange props, ensure that all student ‘models’ were present and assisting with carrying equipment.

“This has been a great opportunity for Skye to gain practical skills and insight into a creative career. It also helps to explain the work that goes into creating the images we see around us everyday.” Miss Rebecca Watson, Deputy Head Pastoral.
