What are our Aims?
We aim to encourage our pupils to be investigative, resourceful, creative, expressive and technically skilful. We also challenge them to become aware and critical of the world around them by studying the work of other art and design practitioners and by responding creatively to external issues and events.Art
About our Department
THE ART AND DESIGN DEPARTMENT is a busy, lively place in which pupils take part in a wide range of activities in two or three dimensions as well as going on visits and entering competitions. The activities undertaken offer opportunities for all pupils to have an enjoyable and challenging learning experience as well as taking account of our pupils’ individual needs. Art is a subject that can be very broad and very personal as well as demanding and fulfilling.
All pupils in Years 8 – 10 receive two periods of Art and Design each week. Those who display a particular aptitude for the subject may continue their studies up to GCSE level. Our results in this examination have been very pleasing. Each year we organize fieldtrips to art galleries, museums and exhibitions. The Department also sponsors an Art Club, which is well attended by pupils from years 8 –10.
