Welcome to the Art Department at Thrybergh
The Art department is lead by Ms Wood and teaches Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 GCSE and BTEC Art.

The teaching of Art and Design at Thrybergh SSC aims to develop the pupil’s ability to look, record and appreciate a wide variety of art form and to make judgments about artistic quality. We encourage active involvement in different forms of visual and personal expression both individually and in groups.

We are linked with the Expressive Arts faculty which includes Music and Drama.

The department consists of a well-resourced Art room with an interactive whiteboard and classroom computers allowing access to the schools computer network. We also have facilities to print, paint, sculpt and there is a kiln for clay work.

All students at KS3 have one lesson of art each week which are planned in line with the National Curriculum strategies and at KS4 students have 3 lessons per week following the Edexcel curriculum at either GCSE or BTEC. GCSE students are encouraged to extend their own artistic interests, skills and knowledge and at Thrybergh we believe in using ICT in both art practice and as a learning tool.
