Art and design

Our art and design curriculum

Intent

At St Nicolas’ School we value art and design as an important part of children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Art and design provides the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas.

A high-quality and memorable art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and confidence 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 product design. They should also know how art both reflects and shapes our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
