The Art and Design Technology department inspires children through a broad and inspiring curriculum. We aim to provide experiences which support individuality and a journey of artistic growth. Through exploring a broad range of techniques, styles and approaches, the children will experiment, invent and create, allowing them the opportunity to express themselves. The children will study historical, cultural and current Art projects, learning to think laterally and inspiring their imagination.

We will explore techniques and styles including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, digital and mixed media in Art, whilst discovering a wide range of tools and materials in Design Technology, such as LEGO, woodwork, textiles and graphic design. Through studying different artists and designers, children  are encouraged to use new vocabulary to discuss their thoughts and opinions. All of this is achieved in our specialist Art classroom.

Each year, we celebrate our love and appreciation of the arts through an annual Arts Festival, which offers the opportunity for a diverse range of artist-led workshops across three days, with trips to different London galleries and exhibitions. This is a wonderful experience for every child to be immersed in creativity. At the end of the school year, we celebrate the children’s achievements with a whole school Art exhibition - where every child will have a piece of Art on show.

An Art Scholarship programme is in place for those who demonstrate a passion and keen interest in Art. There is also an enrichment programme which includes painting, textiles, warhammer and creative clubs.
