Creative Arts
Pupils' artistic and design talents are really tested in the senior
school regardless of their ability. All children are encouraged
to be creative and enjoy all aspects of this subject, which includes
the use of textiles, paints and ceramics in art and manufacturing a
product of their own design using wood, plastics and electronics in DT.

Performing Arts Music and drama take on more prominence in the senior school with our
senior school choir and orchestra and annual drama production.
Many pupils take advantage of the varied instrument teaching on offer.
Pupils in Year 8 are trained for a week at the end of their last term,
to put on an abridged version of a Shakespeare play for parents.
Both help to build confidence and enable pupils to speak up!
