Art and Design

We believe that art and design is a vital part of children’s education. It enables children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes. The art curriculum develops children’s skills and allows them to learn about a diverse range of artists and designers. The consistent use of children’s sketchbooks means that children are able to review, modify and develop their initial ideas in order to achieve high quality outcomes. Children’s work is celebrated when it is displayed around school for pupils, parents and visitors to observe.

Art and Design programmes of study follow the National Curriculum. To view the National Curriculum please click here.
