Creative Arts (Art & Music)
The creative arts curriculum at Frederick Holmes includes music, art and drama. The art and music curriculum is carefully planned, considering pupils’ experiences and physical abilities in order for them to perform, compose, appreciate and create. Pupil’s work is evident in vibrant, interactive and colourful displays throughout the school, including large collaborative pieces.
All subject curriculum plans, including Art and Music, are available here.
Pupils take part in local arts and cultural festivals including Hull Colours of Music, New Paths Music Festival and the Royal Shakespeare School Project, all of which see pupils performing in front of a live audiences. Pupils benefit from numerous live performances in and out of school with musicians, dance companies and theatre groups. Students in Post 16 participate in workshops at Hull Truck Theatre, and have the opportunity to work towards a Performing Arts accreditation.
