Curriculum Intent

We believe that Art has the potential to individually nurture creativity in our students so that they can produce their own varied, sensitive and personal work.

By studying Art, students learn a deeper cultural understanding through learning about art and visual language and by doing so, becoming more aware about the world around them as well as develop our students to become independent thinkers.
