Creative Arts
Creative Arts Vision Statement
Creative Arts, comprises Art, Drama and Music and is delivered throughout the school by a dedicated, creative and ambitious team of specialists. We aim to develop students’ knowledge, skills and imagination in these subjects, through our innovative curriculums . Student success, coupled with engendering a love of the subjects in the classroom and in life is our aim.
The faculty offers a range of opportunities both inside and outside the classroom designed to enable our students to access many different experiences, such as performing at “Songfest” and “The Hall for Cornwall” as well as Art Workshops with professional artists from the St Ives School of Painting, to name just a few! Our passionate and knowledgeable teachers are able to deliver challenging and engaging lessons, and nurture students towards success.
During our rigorous Key Stage 3 programme, students learn vital skills, knowledge and understanding in each subject area which progress in depth towards GCSE level. Some of the Schemes of Learning we teach are “Mythical Creatures” in Art, “The Tempest” in Drama and “Blues and Jazz” in Music.
All of our subjects are offered as an option in KS4 and each has excellent uptake. Drama and Art are offered as a GCSE and Music is offered as a level 1/2 Btec in Music Practice. As well as gaining skills within each subject area, students also learn more about themselves, how to communicate with others and how to solve problems in an ever changing environment; vital skills for the world they will encounter when they leave school at the end of Year 11.
