“Art has a role in education of helping children become like themselves instead of more like everyone else”

Sydney Gurewitz Clemens


Our Art and Design curriculum is shaped by our school vision – ‘To SHINE.’ We aim to deliver a broad and ambitious curriculum, rich in knowledge and skills, which is accessible to all. Our key curriculum intentions that drive our Art and Design curriculum are for pupils to: 

  • Produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences. 
  • Become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques. 
  • Evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
  • Know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
