Arts Specialism Extra Curricular

At Sale Grammar School we place great emphasis on the provision of high quality extra curricular activities for all our students. It is through such a program of activities that our students develop their personal skills even further and build excellent friendships.

We are fortunate at Sale Grammar School to have a committed team of both teaching and support staff within the Art, Design and Technology Departments who dedicate their own time to running our Arts Specialism extra curricular program.

Easter Animation Workshop 2010

Our community team have been busy holding an art camp for Gifted and Talented Year 9 pupils over the Easter holidays. The students were given the opportunity to create their own ‘Wallace and Grommit' style stop frame animations. Initially, they were asked to design their own storyboards based on an animal story of their choice. The designs were then short listed and the winning selections were given the chance to come to life as a real animation. The supervising artist Adela Jones plans to broadcast the winning animation in a loop at the ‘New Children's Hospital' in Manchester. Mrs. Bedford said "It was truly a unique experience for everyone involved and Nick Park would surely be proud of our budding young artists".

SGS Media Team

The school's Media Team is comprised of students from across all year groups. The team is responsible for collating information regarding recent school activities and achievements and transforming this information into our monthly 'Bulletin' and the three 'Newsletters' that the school sends out each year. The team currently meet on Monday after school in A11. If your child is interested in joining the team, please direct them to either Mr. Jackson or Mr. Price-Uden.

The school's animation club, organised by Mrs. Bleakley, is held on a Thursday lunchtime in A11. Students have the opportunity to learn how to use Flash software and stop frame animation. If your child is interested in joining the club, please direct them to Mrs. Bleakley.
