The Department

Through art education we endeavour to encourage, engage and inspire our pupils to become their best creative self. The Art department delivers a broad and in depth curriculum enabling pupils to have a greater understanding of the skills, techniques and concepts taught in Art and Design enabling and empowering our pupils to progress confidently from KS3 on to KS4 and 5.

At KS3 our pupils will be introduced to the disciplines of fine art drawing and painting, textiles, ceramics and a holistic arts culture.

At GCSE pupils develop a deeper knowledge of both the practical and theoretical aspects of Art and Design.
