Students at The Angmering School are working with acclaimed public artist Tim Ward to create a new sculpture for the village.
Youth arts charity Artswork has commissioned Tim, founder of Circling the Square, to work alongside children in year nine on the ambitious art project.
Supported by engineers from Littlehampton company SI Protech, the project will offer training in creative art, design and engineering, and give students an opportunity to explore practical processes in the real world.
Sam Hobbs, head of art, said: “We are so proud and excited to be involved in this project. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn about public art from conception to installation.
