Secondary Art News - October
It has been a busy start to the year in the art department. In our senior school we have seen a sharp increase in the number of students choosing GCSE Art and Design as one of their subject choices. We currently have approximately 50 students studying at this level. In our Year 11 group, the students have just begun work on the last of their three coursework projects. Soon the students will began the preparatory work needed for their ten hour exam!
Above and right, we have final and sketch book pieces of work from both Cathy Hadadin & Lucy Cox.
Congratulations to all involved in the Year 4 Ocean Commotion production held at the school. It was a spectacular show and a grand finale to Art Week 2011.

Primary Art Week 2011 ... Our last Art Week supported and collaborated with the music department in the musical production ‘Ocean Commotion’
The children from Foundation stage to Key stage 2 created the scenery and props for this exciting production. We were delighted that the older children from the upper school with the support of their art department also created their own art to display in J- Hall under this theme.
In the past few years Art Week has with your generous support raised funds for different charities. This year we hope to do the same. We will once again support our gold level - Duke of Edinburgh students, who will visit the three orphanages in Nepal in November. Our students have committed to this charity again this year and hope to raise funds for this project through the art week initiatives. We also hope to direct some of the funds raised to a local charity in Riyadh.
The Board has considered carefully the school’s financial situation and has decided that there will be a 4% increase in all school fees with effect from 1st September 2011.
