Exam year groups go on regular trips to galleries and museums. Workshops and artist-led masterclasses all feature in the department's yearly programme.
Each autumn half term sixth formers go on a museum and gallery tour; in 2008 and 2010, we went to New York; 2009's trip was to Paris. In 2011 we are planning a trip to Berlin.
