St Hilda's Art and Design Curriculum Statement

At St Hildas’ C of E Primary School we are committed to providing all children with learning opportunities to engage in Art and Design.  We follow the September 2013 National Curriculum for Art and Design programme of study and the Development matters for Early Years.

The purpose of Art and Design education is to give pupils the skills, concepts and knowledge necessary for them to express their responses to ideas and experiences in a visual or tactile form. It fires their imagination and is a fundamental means of personal expression.

While it is essentially a practical subject, art should provide opportunities for reflection and, with increasing sensitivity, pupils should acquire the ability to make informed, critical responses to their own work and that of others.

There is great pleasure to be derived from Art, Design and, through deeper understanding; pupils can gain access to cultural richness and diversity. The appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts enriches all our lives.  

We have carefully created a curriculum that offers all of the above through our progressive skills topics.  They use texts artefact to support learning and there are opportunities for trips and visitors to enhance their classroom based studies.

Impact

Our children enjoy the self-expression that they experience in Art. They are always keen to learn new skills and work hard to perfect those shown to them. The children’s art is often cross-curricular art but is also taught in focused topics (to support the importance of the subject) and helps them to express feelings and emotions in art, as well as show their knowledge and understanding in history, geography and science. The children are assessed on their skills using our ‘sticky learning’ process to help them to remember and make further progress building on the skills they have learnt.
