Art

Throughout our art curriculum, pupils learn core knowledge and techniques required to understand key artistic approaches and to become competent artists.

The knowledge and techniques build on previous learning as pupils move through the school and opportunities for knowledge and technique retrieval are built into the curriculum to ensure that pupils retain the learning in the long-term.
