ART & DESIGN STATEMENT OF INTENT

At St. Ethelbert’s Primary School, we value Art and Design as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. We endeavour to provide the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas.

A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. The Art and Design curriculum at St. Ethelbert’s Primary School is based upon our progression of knowledge and skills document, alongside the 2014 National Curriculum.

Children’s art and design will be celebrated and displayed around the school. Alongside our curriculum provision for art and design, we also provide children with the opportunity to participate in an art after school club. Children also have the opportunity to do creative work in many other subject areas.

Our Art and Design Subject Leader is Mrs Coyle.
