Art

Art is taught across KS3 with the aim of providing students with the opportunity to explore a broad range of artistic media. Students learn about the world around them and develop their own sense of self-expression. Additionally students learn a number of transferable skills such as critical thinking, presentation, questioning skills, adaptability, time management and independent learning which support their learning across the curriculum.

The Art department promotes and develops skills for each student to enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding and encourages them to participate and add value to the world around them. The topics are designed to allow students to build these skills through exploration and understanding of the world around them.

Students have the opportunity to choose Art as an option subject and continue to study it into KS4.
