St John's Church of England School

At St. John’s we value Art and Design as an important part of the pupils’ entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Art and Design provides our pupils with the opportunities to think innovatively, express their individual interests, thought and ideas. This is achieved through practical and progressive lessons that value the processes of art and design as well as the end products. Pupils have the opportunity to build their skill set, explore, take risks and express preferences. At St John’s pupils engage in practical activities and are encouraged to self-evaluate through thinking, talking and sharing of ideas. Tasks challenge pupils as well as developing their knowledge of artists and the role art has to play in society.
