Welcome to the Art Department

 

The Art Department continues to maintain a popular profile within the school locally and this is reflected in the consistently high numbers of students opting for the subject in the upper school. We aim to produce a positive and purposeful atmosphere in the department with good teaching, enthusiastic learning, plenty of hard work and lots of good humour.

We operate an open house system at lunchtime with art club five days a week. Over the years we have had some outstanding exam results and we are confidently looking into the future to build on and maintain this success.
