Welcome to the Art department.
The Art department comprises 5 teachers and 1 full time support staff, who teach art and design, theatrical design and fine art. The department encourages pupils to think critically and reflectively about art and design and to use their imagination and intuition when producing art work. The support they are given allows the pupils to gain competence and confidence in order for them to take risks and experiment with ideas, materials, tools and techniques and ultimately produce dynamic works of art.
