Sampford Peverell C of E Primary School
Art Curriculum
At Sampford Peverell School we highly value the positive development that the arts can have on children’s lives academically, practically, emotionally and spiritually. Through the arts, we intend for the children to develop critical and creative skills, learn to challenge themselves, communicate their thinking, expand imagination, express emotions, nurture identity and embrace their own creative style. We aim to nurture an enjoyment and a respect for art and throughout their time at our school; our intention is to enhance knowledge and understanding of the arts and artists and their role in culture and history. We enable children to develop ideas, master techniques and take inspiration from the Greats. We want our children to be inspired by the arts and gain a lifelong interest whilst fulfilling their own creative potential.
Our school is a registered Arts Award Centre with a rare 100% pass rate at Discover, Explore and Bronze level. Through on-going monitoring of children's understanding, knowledge and skills, we are able to differentiate, support and challenge the children and the impact is that all learners express themselves to the best of their ability in their artwork. Our children know that they can celebrate their artistic achievements, as there are class displays, school displays and events showcasing their work.
Through the Arts Award process children develop their creative voice. They are able to give peer reviews, articulate critical responses to their own and others work. They are engaged, proficient and motivated in their art work and we hope that they continue to carry on this enthusiasm throughout their secondary school life and beyond.
