The Key Stage 4 curriculum is studied in Years 10 & 11 (a 2 year curriculum). Students can make the step up to Art and Design Based courses at GCSE level.
Art and Design
Our programme is designed to unlock pupils creative and imaginative potential. We aim to enhance enjoyment in developing understanding of the visual world, learning practical skills and responding to ideas and issues in ways that are personal to our pupils.
Art and Design is about looking, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. It inspires creative thinkers.
Pupils have the opportunity to take part in drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography and graphic design as well as having the opportunity to do their own briefs which are personal to their own interests.
Photography
Our programme will feed pupils creative and imaginative minds. They will enjoy developing understanding of the visual world, learning practical skills and responding to ideas and issues in ways that are personal to them.
Photography is about looking, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. It inspires creative thinkers. Photography means ‘drawing with light’ and it is this philosophy we aim to capture, exploring various techniques to create images along the way and pupils capture the world as they see it.
