Happy New Year!!!


Welcome back to a new term.


This term will bring exciting new modules for KS3 and important exam preparation for GCSE and AS/A levels for Art and Product Design.


This week (4th Jan) there are GCSE mock exams (controlled assessment). We hope the year 11's are prepared! Please note there will be room changes to look out for!


Coursework deadline for GCSE and AS/A level Art, Textiles & Graphics is FEBRUARY 1ST. Final pieces and sketchbooks must be complete for hand in. We will start marking from this time.


Exam themes will be issued from this date. You will need to buy new sketchbooks for exams and ensure they are labelled with candidate numbers. (ask teacher for appropriate label.)


Year 11s have an exciting trip planned in February which will go towards exam research.

AS/A level students should be looking into appropriate places to visit!!!


It will be a busy new year for us all. Let's ensure we all work together to get the results you really deserve.
PS. Don't forget to check back for updates, what's on and links to handy sites!
PPS. Big Brother is watching you!!!
