A welcome from the Head of Faculty, Mrs Brunt

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.

My favourite teacher was Mr Girvan. It was impossible not to absolutely love English if he taught it. He was just the nicest human being and he never raised his voice at our class once and I had him for years from year 8 to year 12.
