The Arts
The Arts Department at The Yellow House provides a vibrant and supportive environment for young people to explore their creative potential across a variety of art forms, including Art and Design, Music, Drama, and Media. Our aim is to foster creativity, imagination, and confidence while developing technical skills that allow students to gain a deeper understanding of both the arts and themselves.
We offer a diverse range of materials and equipment to support learning, with opportunities to engage in cross-curricular projects that integrate other subjects such as English, Forest Schools, and even our allotment. This holistic approach enriches learning and encourages students to connect their creative practice to the world around them.
To further inspire our students, we organize visits to local art galleries, museums, theatres, and ceramic workshops, providing real-world exposure to the arts and hands-on experiences that complement classroom learning.
Accredited Qualifications
WJEC Entry Level 2 & 3
AQA GCSE Art and Design
In the GCSE assessment, students will respond to one starting point provided by the exam board. This process includes a 6-7 week preparatory period followed by a 10-hour exam, during which students are expected to create preparatory studies, conduct research, and produce a final piece of artwork under exam conditions.
At The Yellow House, we are dedicated to nurturing the creative talents of every student, helping them to express themselves and explore their artistic identity while achieving recognized qualifications.
