Art

At St James CE Primary Academy, we value Art and Design as an important part of the  children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum.

Art and Design provides the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thoughts and ideas. Art and Design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high quality art and design education will engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and  create their own works of Art and Design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of Art and Design. They should also know how Art and Design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
