Nun Monkton Foundation Primary School

At Nun Monkton  Primary School, we are committed to providing all children with learning opportunities to engage in Art and Design. We believe that Art and Design education should engage, inspire and challenge our children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As children progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of Art and Design. Pupils in our school sometimes have a limited knowledge of a range of artists and their work. Our curriculum addresses these limitations through clearly identifying artists and vocabulary across our units of work on the long-term plan. Our Art and Design curriculum seeks to inspire and develop children’s critical abilities and understanding of their own and others’ cultural heritages through studying a diverse range of artists.
