Primary Platform 26 Launch at Kettle’s Yard

Anglian Learning reached an exciting milestone with the launch of Primary Platform 26 at the inspiring Kettle’s Yard gallery. This new initiative celebrates creativity, collaboration, and community across our 11 primary schools, giving younger pupils their own stage for the very first time.

Building on the success of Platform 25 for secondary schools, Primary Platform 26 will showcase artwork from Reception to Year 6 under the theme ‘Belonging’; a powerful concept every child deserves to explore and express. The exhibition will take place from 6 to 8 March at the Marven Centre, Sawston Village College, featuring selected pieces from each school. A huge thank you to Teaching Personnel and Vision for their generous sponsorship in making this vision a reality.

A further three primary schools, set to join Anglian Learning in January, also took part, with everyone working with Dr Harold Offeh and the Kettle’s Yard team. Participants explored the house and Harold’s exhibition through creative activities that asked:

“What brings joy?”

“How are relationships shown?”

“What symbolises togetherness?”

They produced responses, a sound piece to represent ‘welcome’ and a photo to symbolise ‘presence’, sparking ideas for how pupils can express belonging back in their schools.

The day culminated in the Clore Learning Studio, where Art Leads curated sketches, audio, and mixed media into collaborative artworks. This creative energy sets the stage for innovative projects across Anglian Learning.

Our ambition is clear: to make Primary Platform 26 a vibrant celebration of belonging that resonates in every classroom and every community.
