curriculum intent

The ambitious curriculum in art and photography aims to encourage and develop student’s skills and creativity. We follow the national curriculum guidelines to ensure all pupils produce creative work, explore ideas and record their experiences.

We aim for all our students to become proficient in their artistic skills to be able to evaluate and analyse creative work as well as understand the historical and cultural development of art forms. We aim to ensure every student has the opportunity to explore their own creativity and abilities with a range of techniques and processes.

Our vision aims to provide every student with an opportunity to enjoy their own creativity and gain confidence through practical tasks.
