Art

The recently extended Art Room provides an exciting environment for our girls to develop and explore their artistic potential. They are encouraged to work in a variety of materials including paint, pencil, collage, clay, print-making, plaster and wire. Many of them chose to work big, as our wonderful GCSE art exhibitions will confirm!

The department prides itself on allowing the girls to pursue their own strengths and enthusiasms. This results in stimulating and diverse work and excellent GCSE grades. In 2009 over 75% of candidates achieved A* or A grades. There are four art clubs – two for Juniors, one for Seniors, one for GCSE support. Girls visit galleries and museums and we annually participate in the Royal Academy Outreach programme which brings life drawing into schools.
