Art & Design 

Department Intent

The Art curriculum at Bury Church is inclusive and nurturing whilst striving for excellence. Pupils are given the opportunity to think independently and creatively express themselves. All pupils are treated as valued individuals that are given the freedom to think creatively and re-think and re-draft their work in a supportive environment.

 

As pupils progress through the curriculum, they should be able to think more critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of the subject. A key focus of the curriculum is how art and design both reflect and shape our history and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
