The Art Department at Greig City Academy

Art is a thriving and popular subject at all key stages. We offer AQA Art & Design at both GCSE and A Level, with students consistently achieving strong outcomes. Many progress to prestigious post-18 destinations, including Central Saint Martins and Goldsmiths.

The department has a strong reputation for high-quality exhibitions, both within the school and in the local community. We foster a culture where students develop creative confidence, resilience, and independence in their work. We are well resourced, with specialist facilities for ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, digital photography, and traditional fine art practices. A wide range of enrichment opportunities, including extracurricular clubs, gallery visits, and trips, supports and extends students’ learning beyond the classroom.

Our school is unique. It is a diverse, vibrant and supportive community where staff and students thrive on innovation, collaboration and a shared commitment to success. Staff go the extra mile to support students, and the outcomes are often extraordinary.

Our successful Academy is a caring and creative environment in which all students can enjoy learning, develop enquiring minds and gain the skills and knowledge they need for a changing world. We want happy and successful children ready for their future.

Paul Sutton, our inspirational Principal, has built a strong and dedicated team of well-qualified staff who share a common vision to raise students’ achievement.

Staff at the Academy collaborate and support each other by sharing good practice and taking a collegiate approach with a focus on their own contribution to our collective vision. Students and staff work together with enthusiasm and commitment often over and beyond the school day.
