Curriculum Intent of Art and Design

“Art and design stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a unique way of understanding and responding to the world."

As a school, we believe that Art is a vital and integral part of a child's education. It should provide challenges, inspire and engage.Art should equip a child with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design with the freedom to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding. It contributes to a child's personal development in creativity, independence and self-reflection. Furthermore, art and design ought to develop a child's understanding of their own and others' cultural heritages through studying a diverse range of male and female artists and designers throughout history.
