Art and Design pupils opt for one or more of the following from the A-Level WJEC Eduqas A&D specification: 2D Digital Design specialising in Graphic Communication, Film, Animation, Illustration & Fashion illustration, Photography & Fashion Advertising, Surface Design/Digital Textiles; or 3D Design where pupils specialise in Product Design, Furniture, Jewellery, Architecture, Millinery or Interior Design and Constructed Textiles; or Fine Art where they can specialise in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics and Printmaking. The courses all have slightly different approaches but creativity, diversity and innovation are at the heart of all we do. Pupils are introduced to a diverse range of media, resources and equipment to broaden their understanding and their ability to generate conceptual ideas and creative results. They benefit greatly from trips to galleries, museums, theatre and cinema visits. They also enjoy opportunities for life drawing classes, after-school support and workshops, seminars, community projects, competitions and ‘live’ briefs. Our impressive facilities include a specialised textiles area within the 3D workshop, Surface Studio computers, full Adobe Creative Suite, film and animation equipment, photographic studios, DSLRs, laser cutter and pottery, dedicated printmaking studio and a comprehensive range of provisions for painting. Such is the maturity and breadth of their work that our pupils often gain direct access to top Art Schools from around the country.
Admission to the school is a conditional place based on achieving a minimum of 6x6 grade passes at GCSE; this is a minimum entry requirement and higher grades might be necessary in intended A Level subjects, namely the Sciences and Maths.
