Students are able to access a wide range of opportunities to develop their interest and talents in creative arts through participation in our many plays, exhibitions and performances, and by attending specialist workshops delivered by external professional practitioners and experts. With a strong presence in local, national and international events, and with a nationally-renowned Pipes and Drums Band, the School is currently working towards the Platinum Artsmark award.
Facilities at Gordon's for the Creative Arts Department include two dedicated drama studios, new art studios and a range of music suites, to complement the growing popularity of music, art and drama at the school.
