Art & Design
The artwork on display around the school is a testament to the high standards our students achieve, which is reflected in our excellent GCSE results and ongoing success in national art competitions.
We have an extensive art offering covering three GCSE art options: Photography, Textiles and Fine Art. Being creative is actively encouraged to all students via a range of art clubs, challenges, and competitions throughout the year.
The Department's annual trip to St Ives is a firm favourite amongst students - boosting skills and providing inspiration for their coursework.
We can boast excellent print making facilities and have recently required a large Rollaco printing press for both relief and etching processes. We also offer screen printing and have a UV light box used for exposing images on to screens and developing cyanotype prints.
Photography is explored through digital media and hand processing techniques and workshops explore painting with light and photographing architecture with a walking tour in London. Textiles students can explore a wide range of techniques and processes including hand and machine stitch, dyeing, printing, batik, felting and weaving.
Music Scholarship for Year 7We welcome applicants who are grade 3 or above to apply for our Music Scholarship in the Autumn of Year 6, prior to the assessments in January. |
