The Art Department


We believe that art should inspire children at whatever level, and that art is a powerful medium to challenge young minds and develop perception.

We enjoy using art as a cross-curricular subject in the school, working with different departments throughout the year and the children are able to learn about the world they live in through their art activities

History of Art classes provide a well informed understanding of culture, a useful asset both socially and intellectually for the future

Our Head of Art, Fernando Velazquez, is not only an inspirational teacher, but also a world-renowned artist, and has exhibited across Britain, and in New York. You can also now see his work as part of the Saatchi Online Collection.

You will see from the gallery of photos (to the right) just how much the children enjoy their art and what an array of talent Fernando Velazquez brings out in the pupils.
