New Bridge School
Art and Design stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a unique way of understanding and responding to the world. Student’s use colour, form, texture, pattern and different materials and processes to communicate what they see, feel and think. They are given the opportunity to practice a wide range of skills from drawing and painting to ceramics and animation. New Bridge students, in particular can gain confidence and a feeling of self worth. A child’s work, be it a drawing or a junk model stands as a unique form of communication. Through art and design activities, they actively shape their environment and will hopefully leave school with the desire to be artistically creative in their own lives.
Art supports and enhances many areas of the curriculum. Art is delivered to all the year groups in Key Stage 3. Art is offered as an option at Key Stage 4. All students have the opportunity to be included on an accredited course even if they do not meet the standards
for examination entry. 6th Form students will be able to continue their art studies with the possibility of working towards a GCSE in a more specialised area,
