We promote creativity at every opportunity and our cross-curricular programme is extensive. We have involved in;

  • Creative Activity in the promotion of literacy
  • Our ‘Make-a-Book’, “War Horse” 3D model and worksheets was an inspirational activity among 1st Years
  • The ‘Titanic Project; promoted positive research and investigation through a series of creative 2D classroom workshops

All students who express an interest in art, craft and design are shown a commitment by teaching staff to develop a challenging, rewarding and fulfilling experience through sketch book activity and related art work.’

The Art Area plays a major role in K.C.S.’s concert/musicals through stage set-design and painting.

K.C.S. is a large, bright and cheerful area prepared for all types of creative activity and welcoming to committed students who are ready to take responsibility for shaping their education.

Our 5th Years completed a ‘Personal Portrait Project’ and a series of stylised posters – all dramatic visual statements
