Emma Field, curriculum area leader for art design and fine art, said: “It’s been a really amazing experience because all the teachers and students have been working together to remember all the servicemen and women who sacrifice so much.

“It was an idea I got when I went to Tate Modern last month.

“They will be sold next year and a donation will be going to the Royal British Legion.”
