Pupils receive two art lessons per fortnight as part of their core curriculum. In addition, they benefit from an additional two lessons per fortnight on a carousel timetable, where they alternate between art and drama. This innovative approach allows students to explore their creativity through a broader range of artistic and performance experiences, enriching their understanding of Art. With the additional lessons in art, pupils can delve deeper into projects, experiment with new techniques, and refine their creative processes. The exposure to different artistic challenges broadens their perspectives and encourages them to take creative risks, ultimately helping them grow as well-rounded and confident individuals.
