Art Trip to the Tate Modern

As part of the AS and A2 courses, Years 12 and 13 made a trip to the Tate Modern in London. There pupils had the opportunity to see many works by modern artists. Pupils were sent off into the galleries armed with sketchbooks and maps, the quest being to discover five works of inspiration and relevance to the development of their own project ideas.

Among pupils’ favourites was ‘ thirty pieces of silver’ Cornelia Parker but the highlight of the day was experiencing the interior of the giant ‘ black box’ created by the polish artist Marislow Backla. The day was greatly enjoyed by all.

11 of our current yr 12 and 13  are travelling to Honduras to take part in a 2 week Biological Research expedition. This is a new opportunity to sixth formers that we are aiming to offer on a 2 yearly cycle.

Whilst based in a mountain village community the group will be learn some basic jungle survival skills and how to carry out the various surveys.  They will then trek into one of the remoter camps where they will be living in hammocks and help with forest and habitat surveys.  The group will have the chance to join biodiversity teams working on dung beetles, butterflies, moths, jewel scarab beetles, amphibians, reptiles, birds, small mammals and bats.
