Art Curriculum

Art Curriculum Overview

Art at St Thomas More Catholic Primary School is taught in line with the National Curriculum programme of study for art (2014) and the Development Matters (2021) within the Expressive Arts and Design area of learning.
We provide a high-quality art education which equips children to use creativity, observation, and reflection to understand the world and apply this to areas of their own lives.

Art is a place for children to learn to trust their ideas, themselves, and to explore what is possible - Mary Ann F. Kohl
