We deliver a diverse curriculum which incorporates art, craft and design throughout the Key Stages within four specialist pathways; 2D visual communication, 3D/ceramics, graphic design and creative textiles. Schemes of work at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 GCSE projects and a vocational qualification at Key Stage 5 (BTEC Level 3) ensure that the knowledge and skills that pupils gain in the classroom are relevant and transferrable to the creative industries.This is partly achieved through successful partnerships with local businesses, organisations and community groups along with collaborations with visiting artists, feeder primary schools as well international schools. Cross curricular links and commissions from other departments also ensure that the arts compliment and support learning across the school. This role would contribute to the ongoing success of this faculty.
