Departmental Intent:

- become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design
techniques - evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design
- know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and
cultural development of their art forms.

Golden Threads are the key themes, values and skills that run throughout the curriculum across all year groups. In our school, these threads reflect our Catholic ethos and Catholic Social Teaching, supporting pupils’ academic development while encouraging them to make links between their learning, the wider world and their responsibilities as compassionate and thoughtful citizens.

Bookflix is our reading incentive and is linked to rewards through achievement points and other prizes when children read specific numbers of books.
Bookflix displays are in every classroom, which gives teachers the opportunity to recommend books to read around each subject. Children should see which books are trending and newly added, just like the home screen on Netflix!
Here is the list of the current Bookflix books for the department:
Drawing Projects: An Exploration of the Language of Drawing Mick Maslen
Thomas Heatherwick: Making Thomas Heatherwick
What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art in the Blink of an Eye Will Gompertz
Extraordinary Sketchbooks Jane Stobart
