Co-curricular

Creative Arts

Across all year groups, students are encouraged to develop skills in drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, digital and graphic design and filmmaking, while being challenged to think philosophically.

Making it happen

Photography is a popular subject in which students are encouraged to experience and experiment with a broad range of different lens-based techniques and processes, developing independence and flexibility. Work is frequently exhibited in our lively and bustling Shaw Gallery, while students regularly visit exhibitions both in the UK and abroad.

Meanwhile, Design & Technology prepares our students to fully participate in tomorrow’s world. Through practical projects, students use materials and techniques in order to create functional solutions. The department is exceptionally well resourced and boasts some of the best facilities in the country.

Exploring without boundaries

Students develop their creativity and express themselves in a nurturing environment.

Eclectic co-curricular clubs and societies – such as Light-Sabre Building, Drone Club, and Engineering Club – provide an excellent foundation for the product designers, engineers and architects of the future. As a result, each year, several students advance to professional careers within the expanding fields of photography, art and design.
