On Monday 12 February, the Visual Art department took our A level Fine Art and Photography students and a number of Design Technology students to the Victoria and Albert Museum and Tate Britain in London.

The purpose of the visit was for students to gather contextual reference materials for either their Year 13 exam projects, or for Year 12 students' coursework projects. In their upcoming lessons, students will now begin to present their findings in their portfolios and develop ideas from this research.

All of the students were impeccably behaved and had a fantastic time during the trip, with an added treat of stopping at the motorway services on the return journey home for some fast food proving very popular!
