Faculty of Computing & Creative Arts

TIGHS has a vision that exceeds just academic excellence. TIGHS aspires to create confident, well-rounded young people who will be the future leaders of society.

Computing

In 21st Century Britain, the need for the next generation to be technologically intelligent cannot be underestimated. Students at TIGHS are trained to permeate the world of technology and business, thriving on foundational knowledge to aid career prospects.

With the vast, mind-boggling inventions introduced on a regular basis, one thing is for sure – technology continues to grow in a range of forms, delivering a variety of messages. With the ethos remains a constant reminder to the students at TIGHS that the any contribution to technology must revolve around the principle of positive contribution to society.

The Ada Lovelace Award for Excellence in Computer Science

Lovelace’s notes inspired Alan Turing‘s work on the first modern computers in the 1940s. Her passion for mathematics and early computer engineering have made her a symbol for modern women in technology. Lovelace has received many honours for her work since she died. In 1980, the U.S. Department of Defense named a newly developed computer language “Ada”.

Art

The Pablo Picasso Award for Excellence in Art

Pablo Picasso is probably the most important figure of 20th century, in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. To say that Pablo Picasso conquered western art is, by today, the merest usual place. Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists, prior to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did.

Sports

The sports specialism represents the winning mentality of the students who strive and excel in all that they do. In providing varied sporting experiences which aim to build excellence and confidence within students, no child will have her talent hidden or lost.

The Simone Biles Award for Excellence in PE and Sport

Olympic Gold medallist in vault, floor, individual and Team all-around, Bronze medallist on Beam at 2016 Rio Olympics.  Passions: Reading, history, shopping and spending time with friends Simone has a big grin and an engaging personality that shines through both in and out of the sport and while she trains close to 35 hours per week, Biles knows how to keep things fun and is known for inventing new skills during training. Most World Championship gold medals won by a female gymnast in history.
