What the college says

Students at Tapton invariably follow a very individual course of study, using the initial workshops to extend, develop skills and techniques, and support the development of idea. Contextual studies are at the core of our teaching in a very practical way. We encourage all students to visit galleries, and offer trips to Derbyshire, London or Liverpool to visit Tate Britain and Tate Modern or Tate Liverpool; and a residential trip to Paris in Y12 where we visit 5 major galleries including the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre, the Musee D'Orsay, L'Orangerie; and also Monet's legendary garden at Giverny. Students who took part in the Paris trip will develop this work to support Component 1.
