The Brookvale Groby Art and Design Technology department strives to promote a happy, creative and engaging learning environment for all students. As a team we are passionate about Art and Design Technology and hope to inspire and support all of our students to be creative, innovative, to take risks, to become resourceful and independent learners. Our schemes of work are designed to include a wide range of skill building activities that will enable students to embrace their unique talents.
Our vision and ethos in ADT is:
  • To develop individual students’ skills, abilities, resilience and self-belief.
  • To present equal opportunities for all.
  • To promote creativity, imagination, independence and excellence.
  • To provide opportunities to promote students’ social, moral, spiritual and cultural development.
  • To develop understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of art, design and technology as well as understanding its role within our society (aspiration and community).
The campus core values of Community, Aspiration, Resilience and Excellence are at the heart of ADTs values and staff will discuss these when applicable in lessons to form links and ensure that students see the relations to these and the areas that we teach.
