We believe that Art matters. It changes lives, documents and reflects experiences and shows us worlds and perspectives other than our own. Making art has been a fundamental part of human activity since the beginnings of known history.

Through our teaching across the key stages we hope to inspire and motivate our students with projects which are diverse and accessible for all. These projects provide opportunities for students to work creatively and develop a broad range of skills using a range of materials, techniques and approaches.

Courses are structured so that students learn about a wide range of artists and develop confidence in their ability to respond and explore concepts and ideas in depth and with growing independence throughout their art education at Colfox. Projects are carefully considered and taught in a way that enables students to develop transferable skills which are vitally important in order to be successful learners. Organisation, perseverance and the ability to explore, experiment, review and reflect being key!

Art is a powerful means of communication, and we aim through our teaching and the careful planning of our curriculum to motivate students and empower them, so they can express their ideas and beliefs and understand and enjoy the creative process!
