Course summary

The Art Department offers a range of courses and routes to allow you to tailor your A Level Art experience towards a broad range of Higher Education courses and exciting creative careers. We pride ourselves on the breadth of study on offer, within a small department, where pupil centered learning is still at the core of our practice. In Year 12 all students follow an introductory course, exploring, media, techniques and reviewing ways of working. In Year 13 students are supported in portfolio preparation and undertake a Personal Investigation, which is directed towards producing work relating to the area they wish to study at university. Practical curriculum lessons are supported by a range of supra curricular courses, life drawing classes and artist led workshops.
