Pupils’ develop knowledge and skills, becoming confident to use these to express their thoughts and feelings about the world around them. Art has a high profile within the school and pupils’ work is displayed and celebrated, for example in the annual art exhibition in school linked to Penistone art week.
Teachers ensure there is appropriate coverage of key areas: sculpture, textiles and collage, painting, printing, and drawing. There is a clear progression of skills across units and year groups.
