Art & Design at St John's School

'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth' (Genesis 1:1)

 Our Christian vision ensures that all our pupils experience engaging activities in art and design that contribute to pupils becoming active learners and engage as active members of the school, local, national and global community.

How do we ‘OPEN THE DOORS OF POSSIBILITY’ for our pupils in Art & Design?

At St John’s, to open the doors of possibility we ensure that all our pupils experience engaging activities in Art and Design that contribute to pupils becoming active learners and engage their imagination, creativity and expression. We teach Art and Design skills discretely and thematically throughout our Curriculum themes, ensuring all children access all areas of the Art and Design curriculum as well as exposing them to art in other subjects.

How do we NURTURE these possibilities?

Art is a creative expression that nurtures imagination and through painting, sculpture, collage, clay, drawing or any other medium, art is a way for children to work through emotions, make decisions, and express their ideas. We nurture by giving children confidence in their work by providing continual support and encouragement.

What DO WE MAKE POSSIBLE for our pupils in Art & Design?

We make Art and Design possible for children at St John’s through promoting honesty, responsibility, kindness and compassion to allow the children to use creation and express themselves.
