The Art department plays a prominent role in the life of St. Angela's School. It is a lively and vigourous department and Art and Design is a popular option at GCSE and A level. Students are offered a broad curriculum with a solid fine art base. At Key Stage 3 there is a strong emphasis on drawing and painting which develops naturally into other art disciplines of printmaking, three dimensional work, graphics and textiles. In all areas we recognise the importance of incorporating the work of other artists, both contemporary and historic, so developing children's understanding of Art and Design.

As a part of the East London Partnership we have been involved in long term contextual studies projects in collaboration with the University of East London, The Hayward Gallery and The Whitechapel Gallery. The department plays an active role in The Newham Art Teachers Network and every year exhibits student’s work in the London Borough of Newham Summer Show. This year the high quality of our student work was recognised through selection of their work for exhibition at The DFEE Conference for Gifted and Talented students held in Birmingham.

The department has a number of years been involved in Goldsmith’s University of London PGCE Secondary Art and Design Partnership and this involvement in the mentoring of Beginning teachers not only keeps us up abreast with current developments in art education but it extends the variety of teaching which we can offer students.
