Co-curricular creative opportunities

Art has a high profile at Kimbolton and we offer a breadth of co-curricular art and design clubs, trips, exhibitions and competitions, with opportunities for everyone to get involved whatever your ability or experience.

Art and design clubs

  • Saturday morning art: For A Level students, enabling work for a whole morning with staff help and advice. (Throughout the year but not every Saturday).
  • KiMedia: Film making and editing for all, using iMovie and the Apple mac computers in the Art Department.
  • Open art: Open to all ages to follow work of their choice. This could be a fun project or help with coursework.

Displays, exhibitions and competitions

  • Annual exam year exhibition in June: Work from all exam candidates. GCSE work is displayed in the Art department and A Level work in the White Hall.
  • Alumni exhibition in January: Every three years, we invite Art and Design alumni who have studied further and/or work in the Art world. They exhibit their latest work for us: fashion designs or pieces, graphic design or products they have designed. It makes the leap from school to an artistic career come to life.
  • Summer art competition: In July, pupils are invited to make an art piece over the summer holidays, with entries exhibited on Open Day. The competition has a different theme each year; previous themes have included: Games, Colourful Moments, Great Shot and Snap Shot.

A Level Art Show

Beyond the classroom

In Sixth Form, art students also benefit from:

  • Burwell House Residential Art Weekender for A Level artists
  • Yearly overseas A Level Art & Art History trip to a European city, such as Paris, Florence or Venice

Arts Week

Arts week takes place every other year. In the past we have had residential artists based in school to work on pieces throughout the week.

Set Design: An opportunity to help make the set for our annual drama production.
