Art
The Art department fosters talent and encourages independent learning by nurturing creativity and imagination. We seek to inspire and transform students to acquire the knowledge, skills and vision to enable them to achieve their full potential and develop a love of art and design.
We have designed the Key Stage 3 curriculum to be broad and balanced which encourages students to respond to the world around them and to their own experiences. It helps them to express their ideas, thoughts and feelings in a visual and tactile way. It sets out to offer flexibility in approach and encourages confidence, ambition, enthusiasm and a sense of achievement.
At Key Stage 4 students build on their experience at Key Stage 3 and develop ideas through various Investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources. They refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes. They record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.
Outside of the classroom we offer opportunities to develop knowledge and an appreciation of the Arts by extra-curricular Gallery visits, an Arts and craft clubs and GCSE catch up sessions in the holidays.
