At All Saints’ Primary school, we value Art and Design as an important part of the children’s broad and balanced curriculum. Art and Design provides the children with the opportunities to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas whilst also giving them the opportunity to develop and extend their skills.

Art and design represents some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should inspire, engage and challenge children equipping them with the skills and knowledge to experiment and create their own individual works of art and design. They should learn how Art and Design shape and reflect our world’s history and contribute to the creativity, culture and wealth of our nation.

The national curriculum for Art and Design aims to ensure:

1. All pupils produce creative work, explore their ideas and record their experiences
2. All pupils become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques
3. All pupils evaluate and analyse creative words using the language of art, craft and design
4. All pupils to learn about the significant artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
