The exhibition, at Cooper School in Churchill Road, was the culmination of work for about 200 pupils taking GSCEs in art and technology.

Caroline Butler, head of art, said: "There was some very powerful artwork about the horror of war."

She added: "It was most exciting as there are some students who are very talented and some that have less ability, but they've thrown their all into it and expressed their ideas.

"It shows you don't have to be stunningly good to produce some stunning work."
