Art Intent Statement

Art & Design: Art and Design allows children to express themselves creatively, develop skills, and appreciate culture and beauty.

At St Chad’s RC Primary, we aim to provide every child with a broad, rich, and aspirational art education, keeping Christ at the centre of all our teaching. Through Art and Design, children are challenged, inspired, and equipped with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent, and create their own works of art, craft, and design.

Our Art curriculum enables pupils to:

• Learn about and be inspired by famous artists, designers, and craft makers.

• Develop practical skills and creativity to express their ideas and imagination.

• Understand how art has shaped history, faith, and culture in our nation and beyond.

We also enrich learning through cultural capital experiences, giving children opportunities to explore art in the wider world and grow into creative, confident, and reflective citizens.
