Ecclesfield School lies on the northern fringes of Sheffield in the UK and has some 1,800 students aged between 11-16. We take visual arts seriously and that's why we've designed and built this website to showcase the photographic talents of our students.
Our weekly digital photography club is attended by students from all years in the school and their excellent work can be seen on this site. All images we take are digital, using Nikon D40 SLR Cameras and edited using the full range of features in Adobe Photoshop CS3; proper tools for the job.
After the success of last year's photography competition, we are holding our second contest which is open to students and the general public. The standard of entries was high last year - get your entries in by 24th June 2011 to be in with a shout of winning a prize. Visit our competition page
Congratulations to Matt T and Tarik S for their joint work on their Freerunning photograph. Their fabulous shot was awarded third place in the Sharow Photo Competition schools category.
It was the only entry in the top three to be taken by secondary school pupils; first and second placed entries were taken by college students. This is the third year running that Ecclesfield School students have come away with an award in the competition; a great leaving present for our two year 11 students who have contributed to the group's outstanding photographic work in recent years.
As part of a Community Arts Festival this summer, Ecclesfield School is holding a photography competition that is open to the general public and students of other schools in the local area. Winners will receive cash prizes, canvas prints of their image and have their photo displayed in a local art gallery. Read more information about the categories and enter your photos...
We recently returned from a whistlestop photowalk of the sights and delights of London. After shooting around 800 images on the day, our students sat down with Adobe Photoshop and went to work on post-production. The results are stunning and can be seen in our London photo gallery.
Year 8 student Joe has been voted regional winner for the North in the 11-14 category with his photograph of fellow student Jake in the Sightsavers i:click competition. Joe's photograph will be displayed at the South Bank OXO gallery in London from December 10th 2009 until January 10th 2010.
The above images are some of our favourites that we've taken recently. Our full collection of images can be viewed in our student gallery.
