Art stimulates both sides of the brain and enables students to learn to use their senses. It promotes self-esteem and gives students the confidence to express opinions about the world around them. Art represents a culture of questioners rather than a culture of responders, and students learn that there is always more than one solution to a problem. Students learn to think critically, as most questions regarding art do not have a specific answer. Pupils learn to come up with solutions to problems as they arise. This process hones students' critical thinking skills, which are vital in the job market and later life.
Our standard Sixth Form offer for A levels or IB is a total of 62 GCSE points from nine subjects, which is calculated by adding up all grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. (The minimum therefore is eight grade 7's and one grade 6, or equivalent.)
