Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum is designed to build up Art skills and knowledge gradually, each year developing from the previous one whilst striving to keep pupils engaged through interesting assignments, materials and processes. The following is a guide only, as it is critical that the art curriculum remains flexible to allow teachers to respond to the needs and interests of individual classes / year groups and to new ideas creative ideas. KS3 follow our interpretation of the National Curriculum while also preparing pupils for success at GCSE level.

Strengths of the Department

The Art Department at Trinity is an outstanding department with exceptional GCSE results. We have two full time art teachers. We are dedicated to improving our own skills as well as those of our students, and often work alongside students on our own work, which we believe is fundamental to teaching here. Our department has two large art rooms, well resourced, which are fantastic spaces and have the advantage of a kiln for ceramics work. We are a warm and friendly department where students feel happy and valued.
