Over 40 Lincolnshire schools and education establishments are busy working on their sculptures as part of the Lincoln IMP Trail Education Programme.
The Education Programme is run in partnership with Lincoln BIG and Wild in Art and will take place alongside the main Lincoln IMP Trail.
The trail will include one metre tall Imp sculptures all displayed at indoor locations throughout the city from July 10 until September 16.
The Imp at Lincoln St Christopher’s School, which is in honour of its sponsor Northern Rail.
Designs include Lincoln St Christopher’s Imp, which is in honour of their sponsor Northern Rail. It shows summer 2020 on the rail line from Lincoln to Gainsborough, incorporating the Mayflower 400 year celebrations and top landmarks.
The Imp at Leasingham St Andrews Church of England Primary was created by key worker children during lockdown, who used decoupage to decorate it.
Bracebridge Heath St John’s Primary Academy’s Imp is about sowing the seeds of kindness.
Priory Pembroke Academy in Cherry Willingham has called its Imp ‘Pemby’. It was inspired by the book ‘The House with a Clock in Its Walls’.
Welton St Mary’s Church of England Primary Academy’s Imp includes the history of Lincoln and legends. It also includes the pupil’s own future ideas/legends of themselves and the school, and uses jigsaw shapes that the children have decorated.

The Imps currently being worked on by education establishments are sponsored by the University of Lincoln, Bishop Grosseteste University and Waterside Shopping Centre and supported by Lincoln Digs, Galliford Try and LiNCHigher.
Social enterprise The EBP is looking for local businesses to support the education programme and help get even more schools involved in the programme by covering the cost of an Imp sculpture and full education resource pack. Packages start at £849+VAT.
