National Award for Best A levels in Country in Art

The Art Department at Sheffield High School is celebrating the fantastic news of being awarded the 2009 Good Schools Guide A Level Award for Girls taking Art & Design at AS level.

The awards are made based on the results achieved over a three year period and take into consideration the success of the pupils relative to their other examinations. ‘Our aim is to highlight excellent teaching in individual subjects’, said Ralph Lucas, editor of The Good Schools Guide editor@goodschoolsguide.co.uk.
The celebration of the award given to ‘highlight excellent teaching’ in this subject could not have come at a better time as the department, led by Gabby Hanlon (Head of Department), is in the middle of planning an exhibition of students’ work. ‘The quality of work in the exhibition reflects the wide range of art experience our A level in Art and Design offers the students at Sheffield High School and towards their higher education and careers,’ Gabby said, ‘We are very proud of this achievement.’
This Art Exhibition is being held on Wednesday 8 July where work from all candidates taking GCSE, AS and A level art is to be on show for the girls, their parents and numerous special invited guests.
