Upminster Junior School is a vibrant Key Stage 2 primary school based in Upminster, London, proudly serving children aged 7 to 11 as part of the Hornchurch Academy Trust. The school embraces its motto of “We Learn and Grow Together”, creating an inclusive environment where pupils are encouraged to explore, collaborate and develop confidence across the curriculum. Over the past term, pupils at Upminster Junior School have been building a remarkable range of artistic skills through collaborative learning and creative exploration. This dedication to artistic growth has culminated in the school’s exciting entry for the Arts Bytres competition. Year 5 pupils will be showcasing their imaginative manga artwork alongside expressive collage pieces, inspired by the vibrant styles of Henri Rousseau and contemporary artist Megan Coyle. Their work reflects a rich blend of inspiration, technique and individual creativity — a true celebration of the artistic talents nurtured at the school.
