We have a pleasing record of examination results and a high number of students that opt for the course at KS4. High standards of practical work at KS3 and 4 can be found on display around the school, enriching the environment. The department has also developed strong links with the wider community through the Nottingham in Bloom Photography Competition; workshops with the University of Nottingham; the Nottingham Contemporary Partnership programme; involvement with the Arts Award, and a schools exhibition at the NSA Gallery in Nottingham City.
