Our Art Curriculum aims to inspire, excite and encourage children to explore and engage with the wider art world. We want every child to view art as a medium that celebrates their individuality and offers a unique, personal journey, empowering them to believe they are an artist like no other.

Our Vision

We believe that creativity thrives when children are exposed to vibrant experiences beyond the classroom. Throughout their time with us, pupils are given exciting opportunities for cultural enrichment, including meeting and working directly alongside local artists. In addition, they immerse themselves in exploring artwork spanning a wide range of historical time periods, cultures and artistic movements. Children’s work is showcased in school art gallery, providing a proud space to display work they have created and invested in.

Materials, Mediums and Techniques

To bring their ideas to life, our pupils gain hands-on experience with an extensive variety of materials and digital formats as they progress through the school.

Children experiment with drawing and dry media such as pencils, crayons, chalks, pastels and charcoal, alongside painting with watercolours, ready-mix paints, powder paints and inks. Our three-dimensional and sculpture work incorporates clay, wire, wood, willow, Modroc and natural or recyclable media. Pupils also explore printmaking and collage using foam boards, cardboard, string and environmental items. Alongside these traditional methods, children embrace modern creativity through digital art apps, iPads and photography.
