To Inspire … To Aspire

“We are thinking, feeling, art-making, knowledge-hungry, marvellous animals, who understand ourselves and our world through the act of learning…it is a way to love living right now.”

Matt Haig July 2018

 ‘Every Human is an Artist’ by Don Miguel Ruiz

Art, Craft and design embody some of the Highest Forms of human creativity. A high quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft 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 learn how art and culture reflect and shape our history and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
