Art and Design

Art & Design

Our Art and Design curriculum is designed to inspire creativity, encourage self-expression, and develop a deep appreciation for the visual arts among our pupils. We believe that through art, children can explore their imagination, develop critical thinking skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.

At Greenways we have designed our own Art & Design curriculum. Our curriculum is designed around the formal art elements and ensures progression in knowledge and skill across the National Curriculum and beyond. 

We are incredibly proud to have received the Silver Arts mark Award 2024 as this is a true reflection of the hard work and commitment staff have placed on ensuring the arts are part of our curriculum offer. 

'Engaging with the arts is having tangible results on pupils and staff. Arts and Culture feature in school planning and are supported by SLT, alongside internal and external specialist staff for music. Pupils access a consistent and relevant range of experiences in school which leads to showcasing within school and the local community, supported by extra-curricular activity. The focus of this journey has been around redesigning and embedding a new Art and Design curriculum with a system of core knowledge overviews and building staff confidence to be able to deliver.'
