Congratulations to our Year 13 students Corey, Vishal, Haider and Diyana who won the Brent ‘Green, Clean and Sustainable Start-up’ competition defeating Claremont and Crest in the pitching final. The winning presentation, Upcycle4:Brent, set out the rationale and plans of a financially viable model for upcycling furniture. The pitch and responses to the questions asked by the panel of judges were excellent. (more…)
Many thanks to Andy Hammond and AiR charity for delivering a wonderful series of workshop to our year 7 students on how to narrate animations! The product of these fun and engaging workshops was the amazing video below made for Brent Council as part of an environmental campaign to keep Brent clean and tidy. The voices and drawings in the video are all by Alperton students and the video is due to be screened at Cineworld Cinema in Wembley.
During the workshops they also created artwork for the campaign’s banners that have been displayed along Ealing Road! Well done everyone for your hard work!
