Each mixed ability teaching group presents us with a range of artistic capabilities. Our aim is to provide strategies which encourage all children to develop their creative potential as fully as possible. Students who demonstrate a high level of understanding and creativity in the subject are offered extended stimulus activities and challenges i.e., after school practical workshops to further develop their skills. The Department additionally provide extensive extra-curricular opportunities for our students, ranging from weekend residentials, day trips to galleries/exhibitions and visiting artist workshops in school.
