Tarleton Academy Art Department is a dynamic and stimulating environment where students will experience a broad and varied curriculum. High achievement is encouraged through an engaging programme of high quality teaching and learning. We expect all students to do their very best as they explore, develop and refine new skills, ideas and experiences. Students are well supported by dedicated staff but also experience a developing level of independence and more opportunities to explore their own creative interests, ideas and specialism’s.

With a focus on predominantly studying the work of contemporary practicing Artists, our aim is to put Art in context, giving students a clear understanding of career paths and the potential for students to study Art further.

The Art department at Tarleton has consistently delivered superb results at all levels and continues to strive for excellence within each year group.
