Art And Design

We are keen for our children to have the time to express themselves and for this reason an unusual amount of time is allocated to Art in the timetable; our nine and ten year olds have more the two hours of art lessons a week; external exams concluded, in the summer term we terminate lessons for a week to host Arts Week, five days of Art Workshops when all the children receive external instruction from choreographers, potters, musicians cartoonists and alike and various after clubs also provide artistic opportunities after school.

The Art Department provides a stimulating introduction to amongst other genres painting, drawing, printmaking, three dimensional design, textiles, pottery and sculpting. The children are encouraged to handle a variety of media with confidence and regularly find themselves covered in paint and glue!
