The Art and Design course follows a Fine Art route leading to a GCSE in Art and Design. This allows students the freedom to explore many different types of art specialisms whilst on the course and choose their own direction of study. This enables us to build a personal curriculum around the interests of each individual student and at the same time rapidly develop with them high order technical and creative skills to guarantee they achieve very high standards.
Students from our school are encouraged to submit work to the Creative Youth Forum that was founded by Mr Williams.
