X27 Admiral – Being more Sheila Birling and taking responsibility for their English assessments

This week English sessions for X27 Admiral have been intense. Expectations have been sky high as you completed your first forty mark English Literature GCSE question. This is all fantastic preparation for your mock exams after Easter.

You all worked incredibly hard for the preparation work and the assessment itself. It has really shown how well you know the play which makes me very excited for year 11.

I am really proud of you all.

Year 8 Admiral getting to grips with drawing the human form

As part of their new expedition “Being Human” our year 8 students are grappling with some tricky subject matter; the human body. It can be a real challenge to represent people well, but 8 Admiral have been working really hard to understand how using rules of proportion can help them to draw better humans. In this session they used inspirational artwork from classic Marvel characters, the Fantastic Four to help them build on their knowledge of anatomy and proportion in the human body. Impressive!

Our sketchbooks are starting to fill up with really beautiful work. Here you can see how we’re progressing from initial studies of proportion to more complex human body shapes.
