Collaboration and discussion about projects and schemes of work is highly valued in the department. At GCSE we offer Art and Design, Fine Art and Photography and have a significant uptake each year. These experiences feed into the wide selection of art A Levels we offer and where students perform above the national average, with many taking up places on arts based courses at University.
