Art & Design

The Art curriculum aims to provide all pupils with opportunities to explore their own creativity and to respond to and analyse the visual world around them; it aims to promote cultural awareness of the role of art in society through exploration of a range of cultural, historical and contemporary art forms.

Drama

Drama is not a subject in which only those who have a talent for performing can achieve. Nor is it a subject in which those who have the loudest voices get to be heard all the time. Drama is inclusive. Our assessment procedures give credit in three strands: creating, performing and responding. This means that all pupils can achieve. We aim to provide a broad spectrum of experience; there are so many different styles of theatre, and we aim to introduce pupils to some that they may have heard of and some that will be completely new to them, such as, mime, mask work, body props, flashback, Commedia dell’Arte, and Brecht.

Music

Our Music curriculum is designed to inspire, engage, and challenge through creative exploration. We want pupils in Music to be able to express themselves creatively via the medium of practical performance and composition skills, have an appreciation of a wide range of musical genres and understand how music can be both a product and a reflection of its socio-historical context.
