The Day Our School Changed:
A Mayflower Exhibition
July 5th to July 19th 2025
What would you do if you were told your house was unsafe and you had just 48 hours to leave?
How would you feel? What would you miss? What if you had to live somewhere unknown, surrounded by people you didn’t know? Would you feel safe?
Through images, artwork and stories, children from Mayflower Primary School share the experience of having to leave their primary school building at short notice after RAAC was discovered in the roof and all of the disruption that followed.
We remember how our Creativity Council conducted listening sessions with each class to give children the chance to share and reflect. Watch our incredible short film, Together we grow: A Mayflower journey and listen to the voices of some of the staff and children affected by the RAAC crisis.
Curated by the creativity councillors themselves, this exhibition is a celebration of the importance of stopping to listen and to heal when enormous challenges occur.
Running from the 5th -19th July
Curators: Aaliyah, Abrish, Adeeba, Ama, Amila, Fatimah, Finley, Hannah, Mariam A, Mariam S, Marwan, Ruqayyah, Zainab O, Zainab R
