Back to School for Sir Peter Blake Artist becomes as class act in every sense after Year 4 is named after him
The school's link with the 18th century artist has been strong since its inception with one of its pupils unveiling the statue of the pug that stands next to its master on the High Road. The school was founded following the demise of Hogarth School with children in the first two years only. This September there will be a new year 4 class and the school will follow in the tradition of naming it after a famous artist. Other years are named Warhol, Mondrian, Van Gogh and O'Keeffe but the new class will be Blake. A limited number of the pug prints are still available. If you would like to purchase one contact the William Hogarth Trust, 8 Heathfield Gardens, W4 4JY. Phone 020 8995 9013. All proceeds go to the trust which supports charitable activities in the Chiswick area.
