Another fantastic set of GCSEArt results again for Cavendish Art Department.

Congratulations to our Art students for their fantastic work. If you missed the summer Art GCSE exhibition at StElisabeth's Church you can see photographs of the exhibition and individual Art work on the Cavendish School

website. You will find the Art work under the Parents & Students' tab.

A plea from the art department!

Please could parents/carers make sure their child arrives to their Art lesson with an APRON. These are essential asuniforms will get very dirty and sometimes ruined with paint and other media we use. Any colour apron can be worn

and white cotton aprons can be purchased from the Art Department for £4:50. Thank you.
