Horton Park follows the National Curriculum for Art and Design, supported by Curriculum Maestro. The projects are well-sequenced to provide a coherent subject scheme that develops children’s skills and knowledge of visual elements, art forms, artists and art movements. The projects enable children to build on their previous understanding and skills and further develop their expertise.

We believe that through teaching art, we will create and foster transferable skills for our children as well as enhancing their overall academic achievement, leading to better future work opportunities, enhanced well-being and self-esteem.

Through art, we aim to provide experiences for all pupils to express themselves creatively. Children will gain an understanding of art as a subject and develop their ability to communicate with themselves confidently through varied art forms. Children are encouraged to respectively evaluate the work of artists and use high-level vocabulary to express their views.
