Art & Design

We believe in promoting excellent presentation of work. We encourage students to enjoy art. Pupils are taught to observe carefully, to understand the importance of hand eye coordination and how these skills may be applied to many other walks of life. 

We believe in teaching a wide variety of techniques, skills and processes to allow students to find their individual strengths within the subject. 

We strive to be all encompassing, incorporating skills in:

  • Photography

  • Graphic Communication

  • Ceramics

  • Textiles

  • Printmaking

  • Fine Art

We believe competent drawing and painting is essential to provide a firm foundation on which to build additional skills in other areas. 

We encourage innovation, original thought and experimentation.

Work is displayed throughout the school to encourage students and provide inspiration to students and visitors alike. Students are taught to respect and appreciate each other’s artwork.

The department promotes the successes of its students in local press and magazines. We are also extremely proud of a number of our students, whose work has been selected by local and national galleries. We have even had a student who has produced an exceptional piece of work for Her Majesty the Queen.
