The Peter Pan Commission
Primary Schools


The Peter Pan banner project was commissioned as part of the 1998 Bromley Arts Festival. Tony Minnion worked with five different primary schools in the borough for one day each to produce work for the public area outside Ottakar's book shop in the Glades shopping Centre, Bromley.

Children from four schools produced banners illustrating different parts of the Peter Pan story to make up the sides of the free standing display structure shown below. The fifth school created a banner for the Peter Pan window display (see above).

  • Hawes down Infant School produced the Nursery Banner using images created with children throughout the school.
  • Children from years 5 and 6 at Chelsfield Village Primary School created the Procession Banner concentrating on monsters from their own nightmares as well as carefully observed tree silouhettes.
  • Children from Year 3 at Raglan Primary School drew studies of tropical fruits to decorate the outside of the Lagoon Banner
  • Year 4 at Balgowan Infant School used rubbings from planks of wood to create the grain effect on their Pirate Ship banner
  • The fifth school, Scotts Park Primary School, produced the landscape banner telling the whole Peter Pan story for the linking window display.

    At the end of the festival the structure was dismantled and the banners returned to the individual schools for permanent display
