The Art Department is well equipped to enable students to explore a wide range of mediums. Pupils study printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, animation, textiles and art history alongside a continual focus on drawing and painting. 

The Art Room

The curriculum aims to present each child with the necessary technical skills while maintaining freedom for imaginative expression. Promising art students are given the chance to extend their portfolio of work in the Potential Scholars Group.  Students are presented with challenging projects to encourage the development of their personal style.  There are visits to various art exhibitions as well as having their own work on display at national shows and competitions.  See the 'Events and Trips' page under the 'News Events & Diary' section of this website.
