Art and Design
Key Stage 3 Art and Design
Through the delivery of Art and Design at Key Stage 3, our pupils are afforded the experience of a range of artistic activity, working with a variety of media, tools and equipment. The schemes of work allow the students to experiment with drawing and painting, designing, printmaking, 3-D, textiles, graphics and ICT.
Key Stage 4 and 5 Art and Design
GCSE and Advanced level Art and Design are popular choices at Westholme. We offer AQA Art and Design at GCSE level and AQA Art, Craft and Design at Advanced level which continues to provide our pupils with the opportunity to work within a variety of areas and take responsibility for independent learning.
