About Our Art & Design Curriculum

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. Art and Design at Steeple Bumpstead Primary School aims to 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 both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
