Art & Design

Grow

All children will have the chance to explore the awe and wonder of the historical world around them. Children will be given the chance to explore the historical aspect of the area in which we live. Within the safety of our nurtured environment we will understand the history of the world from the earliest times to the present day and have time to explore these important events

Flourish

All children will be provided with opportunities to flourish using their historical skills and knowledge. Through sequenced and progressive learning, the children are equipped to succeed in their endeavours. Through enquiry the children will respond to a range of questions embedding their taught skills and knowledge. This will allow them to explore place regardless of physical and social experience.

Friendship and Love

All children will be given the opportunity through history to recognise the effects on both the local environment and also the wider world. They will explore how events in the past have created and enhanced the world around us. The children will learn to cherish the history of our country and other historical events. Through carefully planned historical trips and events children will be given the time to shine. These inspirational days will plant the seed of inquisition from which the children will become independent, innovative thinker. This will equip them to enquire and question the world and area around them.

 

Purpose of Study

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
