At Thameside School, off Preston Road, in Abingdon can be seen lots of colourful artwork, usually that of the students. Last time I was there, in my role as Governor, I did like the new pictures in the Head’s office. They are done by an artist friend of one of the teachers. He is an event artist and does birthday parties, weddings, concerts, ceremonies…. and on this occasion he came to Thameside to do some art, for free, of a school event.
