Curriculum Intent

Art & Photography

Art provides students with the visual language and skill to express their creativity, exploring the ways artists past and present and different cultures react to the world around them.

Through our curriculum we aim for students to develop a wide range of practical skills: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, textiles and mixed media. We want to feed our students curiosity and creativity engaging projects that challenge to experiment, question and create their own personal responses.

Design & Technology

Design and technology give students an understanding of the place of design, in the world. We teach students how to design everyday products that consider the needs of potential clients and consumers by using inspiration from the work of others and their own creativity. We aim to develop critical thinkers, problem solvers and designers who consider the impact of design on the environment, society and well being.
