Intent Statement

At Summerswood Primary School we recognise that Art and Design stimulates creativity and imagination. Our Art curriculum enables children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of different media.

We promote critical and reflective thinking of other artists, craft workers and designers as well as their own works of art. The skills the children acquire are applied to cross-curricular subjects, helping them understand how art and design have shaped our history and culture.

Remembrance Day:

All children and teachers from Nursery to Year 6 were given the challenge of decorating their own poppy to create this memorial which was shared with the community on the Furzehill Road gates.

Reception - Kindness

Over the first half term, the children in Reception have been thinking about kindness. They created these hearts using a range of media.
