A welcome from the Head of Faculty, Mr White

The Arts at Sheldon are an integral part of school life. We aim to enable all pupils to experience and reach their potential in art, dance, drama and music. The faculty strives to create a safe and positive environment where students can learn mutual respect, disciplines and confidence, whilst developing their teamwork and leadership skills.

Members of staff actively endeavour to demonstrate these transferable skills by being strong role models.  We are equipping our young people to take up their position in the world as confident, articulate, perceptive and well-rounded creative individuals.

During their time at Sheldon, pupils have numerous opportunities to go on trips, take part in workshops and participate in a range of extra-curricular activities including clubs and school productions.

Sheldon gave me confidence in my abilities and supported my ambitions. Going to a state school has many benefits over private in terms of real-world experience and being friends with a varied group of students. This has helped me in my life since school.
