King Edward’s Witley kicks off the New Year with the appointment of a new Head of Art, Mrs Caroline Shouksmith.
Mrs Shouksmith brings a wealth of experience to the role, having worked as an Art Teacher for over sixteen years, with a specialist interest in photography. Part of the remit for the new Head of Art will be to bring photography studies back into the School curriculum and to continue the excellent progress that has already been made in terms of extending King Edward’s Witley’s links with the wider community. This includes the delivery of arts based workshops that are open to local residents who may be interested in developing their artistic skills by accessing the School’s outstanding resources.
Commenting on the position, which she has taken up in January 2015, Mrs Shouksmith says, “I was very impressed by the superb facilities and commitment to art at King Edward’s Witley and was delighted to note that the subject is actively encouraged to pupils throughout the School. I relish the challenge this role represents and welcome the opportunity to continue the work of my predecessor, in promoting King Edward’s Witley’s creative, as well as academic achievements.”
