Art and Design

Art and Design is taught within the Design Centre.

Years 12 and 13 are taught according to the AQA AS and A2 specification. Once again the course is Fine Art based. The students have the opportunity to work in a variety of materials and these include photography, printmaking and computer-aided graphics. The exploration of sculpture is particularly encouraged and there is a ceramic kiln within the department.
There are trips to exhibitions on a regular basis. The department also organises an Arts Festival for the Year 9 students in July. Regular activities include stained glass, candle making, tee shirt printing, sculpture and mask making.

An Art Club is available during two lunch times each week for students who wish to pursue their art interests further.
