Creative Curriculum

Art and Design and Technology

The school aims to offer pupils the opportunity to be creative and develop practical skills, leading to a greater self-awareness and enhance personal development. They learn to be critical of and to appreciate the work of artists.

We are proud of our high standards achieved in Art and Design, evident through displays around school. Our success and high standards in ‘The Arts’ curriculum has been recognised through gaining the ‘Artsmark’ Award in May 2004 and renewed in 2008.

Music

The children are encouraged to sing, play percussion instruments and to compose and perform their own music using graphic and where appropriate, stave notation. Opportunity is given for the children to listen to and discuss a wide range of music. In Years 3 to 6 children may learn to play the recorder and to sing in the choir.

Drama

We value the importance of drama. Drama is a valuable tool for raising self-expression, confidence and self-esteem. Drama is also taught as a stimulus for other subject areas. The children also gain experiences through watching visiting theatre groups and by participating in workshops.

P.E.

We give high priority to PE activities, recognising their worth for improving and developing ability skills, team work, confidence and independence.
