Art, Design & Technology
One the finest Art Departments in the country, whether measured in terms of results, facilities, originality of work or leavers’ destinations, Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Art scene prides itself on being a hotbed of creativity. And the quality of work from Design and Technology would do a university proud. Young lives are often changed dramatically by, and in, these exceptional departments.
We offer pupils a wide range of inter-disciplinary areas including Fine Art, 3D Design, Textiles, and photography. Pupils in all areas of Art and DT are encouraged to be ambitious, confident, imaginative and industrious and it is our aim to give them the best experience possible in the subjects, regardless of ability or experience. It is also our aim to enrich, empower and enlighten pupils. Independence of thought is encouraged (unlike many schools, we have no "house style") and dialogue debate and discussion between pupils and teachers is imperative. Many take full advantage of the departments' open door policies during activity slots, evenings and weekends.
Large numbers of our pupils progress to the finest Art schools in the country, and Â鶹ÊÓƵ designers are already changing aspects of life for the better all around the world.
