The Departments aims:
We believe in the development of the whole person through a balanced education and in particular the confidence which grows in an individual through an understanding of his/her visual perceptions and aesthestic experiences. It is our policy to provide opportunities for each student for personal expression; to encourage imagination, sensitivity, conceptual thinking, powers of observation, analytical abilities and practical oriented attitudes. We also believe in creating a teaching/learning environment, in which all students feel confident to celebrate their own achievements and the achievement of others – an environment in which we value the contribution of each individual.
Facilities :
The Art department has 2 fully equipped classrooms and a studio reserved for sixth form students. With facilities for working with oils, watercolours, chalks, plaster and timber. All forms of artistic technique are covered. We are eagerly awaiting the delivery of our new kiln. We have a purpose built 250 all seater auditorium with new lighting & sound system including a backstage area and 3 dressing rooms.
