Art & Design: Statement of Intent

At Burhill Primary School, the art and design curriculum is designed to empower pupils so that they become responsible for their own learning through:

  • enjoying their learning;
  • having a go and fostering a ‘have a go’ attitude through experimentation and creativity;
  • developing their concentration;
  • co-operating with others;
  • using their imagination and being creative;
  • being curious;
  • evaluating, comparing and improving their work.

At Burhill, art should enable pupils to communicate what they see, feel and think. Art allows pupils to explore their feelings and emotions in a safe, non-judgemental environment. ‘Involvement in participatory arts appears to improve wellbeing broadly defined (e.g. on the Warwick-Edinburgh Wellbeing Scale). Specific health outcomes have also been reported, including reduced depression, stress and anxiety and improved immune system functioning.’ (N. Hoft, 2018).
