At Key Stage 4 students can choose from GCSE Art and Design or GCSE Photography. The courses are project based and students sit an externally set exam at the end of Year 11. Students with exceptional ability can be chosen to do a GCSE in Fine Art, with the course layout the same as the other Art GCSE’s.

Our Lady’s Art Department aims to make art and creativity accessible for all. All students have the ability to create and appreciate. As Picasso stated ‘’every child is an artist..’’
Students will explore their creativity, making unique visual, tactile and verbal responses to their feelings, ideas, cultural influences and the work of others. We encourage students to expand their thinking, developing and justifying their own opinions. Students will learn to communicate concepts, experiences and ideas across a wide range of media and techniques. We want students to feel confident to express their own feelings and opinions about art inside and outside the classroom.
