Introduction

Aims of the Art Department

The Art and Design department aims to provide opportunities for students to achieve well by exploring areas of Art that are valuable, interesting and relevant to the National Curriculum or assessment criteria.  Students enjoy learning and create artwork that is individual, creative and innovative.

Staffing

We have two full time members of staff dedicated solely to the Art department as well as two Technology teachers who deliver the Art and Design curriculum to certain classes in Key Stage 3:

Miss L Sydenham Head of Art

Miss S Walrond      Teacher of Art, Head of KS4

Mr A Siviter           Head of Technology, teacher of Art

Mr M Billington      Teacher of Art and Technology

How Parents Can Help

As a department we encourage students to extend their learning through homework tasks and ask that parents support this by regularly checking that homework is being completed on time and to a good standard.  Students will require access to basic Art equipment at home such as drawing pencils, erasers, pencil crayons, sharpeners, oil pastels (optional), and watercolour paints (optional), etc.  If there is any difficulty in acquiring these items please contact the Head of Art – Miss L Sydenham.
