This
has been an exciting year for the Expressive Arts Faculty
at Priesthorpe.
We were successful in our application for the Arts Council
England 'Artsmark' Award, reflecting the extensive provision
currently offered to all our pupils in terms of a broad
and balanced Arts education.

All pupils in Key Stage 3 have one period of Art, one of Drama and one
of Music each week making a total of three periods of regular, discrete
Arts experience. The only exception to this is a group of pupils in Year
9 who pick up an extra Language option for this year only. These pupils
have one period of Art each week and one of a course called, 'Expressive
Arts', currently taught by Miss Gibbens, during which they are engaged
in a programme of study providing both musical and dramatic experience.
On the linked pages you can read a general overview of each department
and find out in more detail about the Expressive Arts events and activities
in this lively Faculty. Dates and details of forthcoming events will be
publicised on the web site.
