“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind

Within Photography students gain a deeper understanding of the digital photographic process, developing ideas and intentions from an extensive range of diverse stimuli. The subject promotes innovation and reflection, it requires students to challenge themselves, develop opinions and take inspiration from everything they see in our everchanging world.

Photography can stimulate the senses and allow students an opportunity to not only enhance their own understanding but to expresses themselves in a manner that they may not have had the opportunity to do before.

Photography encourages the development of wisdom, curiosity, generosity, courage and passion. It ensures that pupils are challenged, engaged and motivated to develop increasing levels of reflection, confidence, expression, self-worth and cultural capital. We identify and celebrate the importance of a wide variety of cultural, social and contextual influences which is developed further through the extensive offer in Photography around the Supra-Curriculum

We aim to develop a vast range of transferable skills which puts students in a strong position to enter a diverse range of industries successfully, understanding the importance of diversity and imagination in their approaches to problem solving.

We celebrate pupil activities within and beyond formal timetabled arrangements that are memorable, inspiring and life-changing.
