Art, Design and Technology

Art and Design

Our Art curriculum is designed to engage, inspire and challenge our children. We teach the appropriate knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create. They are provided with opportunities to gain an understanding of art and design and reflect on how it shapes our history and contributes to culture, creativity and wealth of the nation.

We have Art Days where the whole school works together on a shared theme. Our most recent delved into portraiture. We are proud to hold the Arts Mark Silver award for our commitment to the Arts. Our children have the opportunity to engage with the Arts Award program, something that they are then able to continue in their secondary education if they choose to.

Design Technology

The aim of our D.T. curriculum is to bring design technology alive for our children, to evoke the children’s curiosity and engage their minds to create, build and use technology to build new and inventive products. We have mapped our D.T. learning to have cross curricular links to add purpose and intrigue to the children’s experiences.
