There is still time to see our incredible art exhibition at Devonport Market Hall. Pop down and see how impressive the children’s work is!!!!

You’re Invited: Widey Court Children’s Art Exhibition We are delighted to invite our school community to come and celebrate the creativity of our children at the upcoming Widey Court Art Exhibition. We are proud to share that Widey Court is the first school to be invited to exhibit children’s artwork at Devonport Market Hall - a wonderful recognition of the creativity and talent within our school. From colourful paintings to imaginative designs, the exhibition showcases a wide range of artwork created by our young artists. The exhibition will be open from 14th – 21st February, and we would love families and community members to come along, take a look, and support our children. Opening times are: Monday - Friday, 8.30 - 3.30 Saturday, 9.30 - 4.00 Sunday, 9.30 - 2.00 There is no charge to come and see the exhibitions, but you could pair a visit with a dome screening over half term!
