Our studios are on the top floors of the newly refurbished Creative Arts Centre where skylights and high ceilings create inspiring studio spaces.
We interpret art and design as broadly as possible and have close links with the design and technology department, providing girls with the opportunity of learning everything from traditional painting and drawing techniques to installation and mixed media.
Several girls have had successes in local, national and international competitions and additional workshops such as life drawing for the sixth form are run on a regular basis.
At both GCSE and A Level students follow the AQA fine art course which, again, allows for the broadest possible explorations of creativity and the development of individual ideas. Candidates have done exceptionally well, some gaining full marks for their GCSE or A Level coursework and controlled assessments.
In the Sixth Form girls can take History of Art as a separate subject. We arrange regular gallery visits both in this country and abroad.
