Steve McQueen is creating a portrait of London’s Year 3 at the Tate Modern

Pupils from Hotham School had a very special visitor at the school last Friday (8 February) when Hollywood film director Steve McQueen dropped in to visit the Year 3 classes.

Turner Prize-winning artist and Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve is preparing an exhibit for the Tate Modern: a portrait of an entire age group of Londoners, capturing tens of thousands of Year 3 schoolchildren from across the capital. The resulting artwork going on display at Tate Britain and around London in autumn 2019.



Over the next nine months, each and every one of London’s 2,410 primary schools with Year 3 pupils is invited to have those classes specially photographed for the project, with the resulting artwork going on display at Tate Britain and around London in autumn 2019.

Clarry, the head curator of the TATE exhibition, commented that the behaviour of Hotham's Year Three pupils was exemplary.

Parents wishing to apply for Hotham’s nursery, the deadline for application is Friday 15 February. More information can be found at: www.hothamprimaryschool.org.uk/Information/Admissions
