Art and Design
Intent
Across their time at the school we aim to inspire pupils through Art and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. We want to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world and learn about art and artists across cultures and through history.
We aim to ensure that we cover the requirement of the National Curriculum and build upon this by creating opportunity for further development. In line with our curriculum driver of ‘Opportunity’, we aim for art to be broad and balanced, by which we mean learning and experiencing different types of media within differing contexts and exploring the work of a wide range of artists and makers.
We see Art as something that can take place anywhere, in any form, and in order for pupils to see this also we need them to enjoy art and be enthused to be creative and experimental.
