Art and Design
Art and Design Lead: Miss Donna Hindle
Our aim at Lever House is to educate children through ‘learning, creativity and fun’. Through our carefully-designed art curriculum, we ensure that all pupils are given the opportunity to learn about a wide range of cultural and historical developments in art throughout the ages.
We aim to equip them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art and also to appreciate the works of great artists around the world. Embodying one of the highest forms of creativity, art enriches children’s lives and prepares them for life after school. This is central to our school vision and learning both through and about art helps children to develop in many ways. In addition to building creativity, it encourages self-expression, builds confidence,
supports children’s development, promotes happiness and wellbeing, and also helpschildren to develop their sense of individual identity.
Children are taught through well planned sequences of learning, which are more often linked to artists from around the world. Children work through a skills progression as they move through the school and leave Lever House with skills to help their onward journey. We have liaised with local secondary specialist teachers to ensure our children are well equip for art learning at Key Stage 3 and beyond.
