Art

Art at St Christopher’s is a space to explore, experiment and create. Girls are encouraged to take risks, express themselves and enjoy the creative process, developing confidence in their own ideas rather than striving for perfection.

Creativity is woven throughout school life, and girls work with a wide range of materials and techniques, including drawing, painting, clay, textiles, photography, collage and digital media. As they develop their skills, they learn to observe closely, think creatively and take pride in producing work that is uniquely their own.

We enrich classroom learning through participation in local and national projects and competitions, including the Hampstead Art Fair, the National Gallery’s Take One Picture, the Royal Academy’s Young Artists’ Summer Show and collaborative projects with institutions such as the Wallace Collection and Tate.

Our London location provides endless inspiration, and girls regularly visit museums and galleries to experience art first-hand. At the end of each year, families are invited to celebrate the girls’ achievements at Around St Christopher’s an exhibition that showcases the creativity, imagination and progress of every pupil.
