Art is one of the most popular subjects on the school curriculum. In recent years students have gained full marks at A level and received national recognition from exam boards. Pupils experiment with a wide range of media: collage, ceramics, textiles, photography and computer graphics.

The school walls become fascinating portfolios for pupils’ work. Art attacks in snow, at the beach and in forests provide stimulus for younger minds whilst the Pompidou Centre and Tate Modern force older students to challenge preconceptions.

Senior school visits to the Clothes Show provide research opportunities for the annual senior Cat Walk Show with its unconventional themes and emphasis on reusable materials. Creative Arts Week in the prep school provides a similar focus for the stretching of young imaginations.

Creative and Performing Arts scholarships are awarded at years 7 and 12 for talent and potential.
