Rugby, maybe? Or Eton if boys only is OK? When is your child looking to start?

A friend moved her DS to Bedales for 6th form just for the Art facilities etc which she says are amazing. I know nothing about it but you can check their website.

So you want a school that offers Art Textiles?

Are you looking for particular skills? All will offer fine art, for example, bit are you interested in sculpture, pottery, photography, textiles etc?

My limited understanding of school art is that they all specialise in a fairly narrow area of the Art Curriculum, and those that want to take it further move on to an Art Foundation Course before moving on to Higher Education.

What output are you looking for?

King's School, Bruton is on a direct train route to London.

I can’t imagine any boarding school that does not have brilliant art results.
