Visual Arts Faculty

Food Science, Art, Textiles, Ceramics and Design Technology.

We pride ourselves in offering a range of materials, processes and techniques for children to explore and manipulate in a creative or design-led way - timetabled into our our school day as well as offered as clubs. We boast facilities not often seen for this age group, up to date and appropriate, which are also used by our parents too, with highly qualified specialist teaching. Offering such a wide variety of creative subjects with mature depth on the timetable enables all children to flourish with confidence and advance skills for their age when they leave for Senior School life. It is amazing to witness the cross-curricular links with Physics and Chemistry, particularly with Ceramics and glazing, and many DT projects. Food Science is fun, but also includes a rigorous theory side so that children can understand as well as grasp the fundamentals - it’s not just cookies and cupcakes!
