Art and Design Technology

Art plays an important part in the life of the school. The children’s enthusiasm for the subject is enhanced by visits to galleries and by the professional artists and craftsmen invited into school to lead workshops and demonstrations.

Children in the upper phase receive specialist tuition, developing their skills in drawing, painting, printing, sculpture and textiles. The children become familiar with the work of renowned artists, developing an appreciation of the various styles of work and the historical and social setting in which they were created.

Individual and group art projects allow children the opportunity to express themselves through a variety of media, learn new skills and display their creativity.

Design and Technology

Design and technology are covered across the entire creative curriculum, as children build and explore ideas through their own models and designs.
