From as early as Year 5, we aim to inspire the next generation of artists and designers, with dynamic schemes of work that encompass lots of exciting activities that will develop skills, as well as motivate and enhance pupils’ enjoyment of this subject area.

We achieve this by offering a particularly broad range of disciplines; in Year 8 pupils not only attend general Art and Design classes, they also receive dedicated lessons in Graphic Design and Metals. Further to this, in Year 9 pupils study Art and Design, with the addition of Ceramics and Textiles lessons.

At GCSE and A Level, we are also able to offer three art-based subjects to our pupils; these comprise of Fine Art, Photography and Textile Design.

The curriculum is again exciting with extensive and innovative delivery methods, where we challenge pupils to aim for the highest levels, as well as differentiating, in order to provide a caring and empathetic environment for all.
