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.
