At Sedgefield Community College we place great value on the creative
and performing arts, making sure our students have lots of
opportunities to develop their interest in these and improve their artistic
skills. With this in mind, we were delighted to recently achieve the Artsmark
Silver Award. The Artsmark Award is nationally recognised as demonstrating
where schools and colleges have a real commitment to the arts.
Linked to this, we were delighted to provide all of our Y8 students with a chance
to work with a renowned cartoonist, James Parsons. This is the second year
that James has worked with our students and the standard of work that was
produced was incredibly impressive as you can see from these examples.
As well as this, our Wednesday
Super Curriculum continues to
provide lots of opportunities for
students to develop their interest in
the arts with sessions relating to
watercolour painting, pottery and
textiles to name just a few. Once
again, it’s fantastic to see and
celebrate the great pieces produced
by our extremely talented students!
Looking ahead to opportunities for our students to showcase their artistic and
performance skills, our Spring Music Showcase is taking place on Wednesday
20 March and we look forward to welcoming lots of parents and carers to the
school for this event.
