Art, craft, and design represent some of the most powerful expressions of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should not only engage and inspire but also challenge pupils, providing them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, create, and express their own unique ideas. As students progress, they develop the ability to think critically and gain a deeper understanding of the impact of art and design on both history and modern society. They come to appreciate how art and design shape our world, contribute to culture, and enrich the creativity and wealth of our nation.
At Weald Primary School, we are deeply committed to the arts, ensuring that every pupil receives a broad and enriching artistic education. Our curriculum offers a wide range of artistic experiences, encouraging students to explore different media, techniques, and styles. We aim to foster not only technical skill and creativity but also an appreciation for great artists and their contributions to the visual arts.
Through Art and Design & Technology, our pupils gain the confidence to express themselves, solve design challenges, and develop an appreciation for the creative process that goes into making art. By the end of their time at Weald, students will not only have honed their creative abilities but will also have a deeper understanding of the role of art and design in the world around them.
