The Arts are an essential element of education, just like reading, writing and arithmetic…music,dance,painting and theatre are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishments. At Sacred Heart Catholic Primary Academy, the Creative Arts encompass a range of subjects, including performance across art,music,dance and drama. We believe that a cohesive Creative Arts Policy will help to identify and meet key objectives which run through all these subjects.
The environment in school stimulates creativity and innovation to enable our children to unleash their imagination. We know that by developing skills in creative and performing arts we develop a child’s individuality and self confidence.
Art & Design
A high quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design.
They should also know how art and design reflect and shape our history and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
