Welcome to the Creative Department website at The Durham Federation

Our Vision

The Creative Department at The Durham Federation School believe that education is inclusive and strive to provide an exciting and challenging curriculum which reflects the needs of all our students; unlocking their creative potential and making them feel supported.

We are committed to our students and their learning and wellbeing, offering subjects that teach core skills in a variety of materials, equipment, techniques and processes. We engage students making them want to learn, be successful and enthusiastic about creative subjects.

Home Learning

Update

Over the course of your two week timetable, KS3 students should be looking to complete regular activities from Art & 3D and Photography - you should do this on a 'pick n mix' basis: choose TWO tasks - from a different creative subject.

Food- please complete the booklets in the food section. There are also some recipe ideas to try out!

Creative Submitting Work Form

When you have finished your two tasks, you should complete this Google Form to share what you have been up to - this could be a written comment, a link (e.g. to a presentation or website), an audio file or visual (photo) evidence. One of the CREATIVE teachers will then get back to you with feedback.

Good luck, and do not hesitate to get in touch (via your Creative class on Google Classroom) if you have any questions!
