All Year 7 students from City of London Academy Islington took part in the Through Our Eyes project which ran throughout the summer term to ensure everyone had the  opportunity to communicate their opinions and participate.

The project was an amazing opportunity for pupils to reflect on the city around them and consider places of significance in their lives. They enjoyed learning about the Borough of Islington and its history and the social impact that gentrification has played on the ever changing cityscape.

The opportunity to work with an illustrator really elevated the project for the pupils and Lauren Veevers’ style and approach  was integral to enabling them to work with confidence and produce some great work.
