Barbara Hepworth
The sculptor Barbara Hepworth was a governor of the school.[2] She donated a copy of her 1965 work Oval Form (one of a limited edition of nine, about six inches across) for use as a prize.[3] It was used as a paperweight until valued at £80,000 on a 2012 edition of the BBC programme Antiques Roadshow.[2]
The school also owns a sculpture by Hyman Segal and two paintings by Leonard Fuller.[2]
