Art & Design

Students participate in a broad range of art, design and craft experiences aiming to develop a joy of creating and making art.

Whilst there is due regard for the development of skills our emphasis is on providing a means of self- expression and a sense of achievement. This may be through a portfolio of work unique to their interests, life experiences and responses to art explored in either the curriculum or a GCSE in Art and Design.

The relaxed environment in Art allows students to develop their language and use their communication skills to discuss art and the world around them. Visits to both local and national galleries as well as recreational art clubs in school demonstrate to our students how, looking at, and making art can be an enriching life experience when they leave school.
