A Carlisle primary school has hosted an 'incredible' exhibition as part of its annual arts week.

Stanwix School held its annual arts week between Monday, June 10, and Friday, June 14, with pupils creating artwork inspired by Claude-Joseph Vernet's A Shipwreck in Stormy Seas painting.

The experience included videos, music, dance, and drama that the students produced for the week, and parents were treated to a glass of fizz at the event as the school committed to the creation of the high-end gallery atmosphere.
