The young artists have spent the past four months working on life-sized sculptures which will be installed outside Cornelius Vermuyden School in Dinant Avenue.
Katy Cook, art advisory teacher at the school, said: "The final pieces look fantastic."
The school, which has art college status, is also benefiting from a £1,000 grant from Seevic.
Katy added: "It is because of the funding we have the chance to create artwork of this scale."
