Art Department Information

The Art Department teaching staff share a passion for their subject and a commitment to providing Art lessons for all our students that are engaging, thought-provoking and challenging. Our overarching aim is that students should become skilful, confident and perceptive in using and responding to Art in all its aspects. They should be given opportunities to explore a wide range of artists and cultures. We hope to instil a lifelong love of Art and to give each pupil a ‘toolbox’ of creative skills.

We teach art to all girls in year 7, 8 and 9 and the GCSE Fine Art course (OCR) is often very popular, with thriving numbers. We offer A level Fine Art (AQA) and this is also a very popular option, with many of our A level students continuing their creative journey at foundation level courses in this country and abroad. We have a lively and enthusiastic range of clubs and clinics on offer each week, as well as a thriving Art Scholars club.

Positive working relationships are fostered with our students, and respect for others is encouraged at all times in the classroom. Independent learning is also encouraged through homework and research, as well as creative projects and initiatives such as participation in art competitions. Self-confidence is nurtured through expectation of participation in class discussions. Personal, moral and spiritual development is supported through the study and exploration of chosen artists, visits to galleries and museums and the questions and discussions that arise from this.

At all levels, the Art Department offers a stimulating and challenging curriculum which provides plenty of opportunities for enrichment, including gallery trips, residential art trips and visiting art artists and designers.

The role of the Art Technician is so important to the department, ranging from the everyday household maintenance of the three art rooms, the running of the stock room and stock orders to the important building of the annual GCSE and A level Art Shows.
