The Art Curriculum At Bourne Abbey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At our school, we are dedicated to providing a rich and inspiring art curriculum, rooted in the Primary Knowledge Curriculum framework. This knowledge-rich approach immerses students in the world of artists, designers, and architects, helping them understand artistic concepts, historical contexts, and the connections between different styles and forms of art. By studying and critically engaging with the work of influential figures, students are encouraged to draw meaningful connections to their own creations, fostering a cyclical process of learning and self-expression. Our curriculum is designed to nurture each child’s artistic skills while cultivating a deep love for art, allowing them to flourish both as creators and individuals. This aligns perfectly with our vision of helping every child realise their full potential and celebrating their unique contributions.

 

We are proud to work closely with Arts Council England and the Artsmark award scheme to deliver a high-quality arts curriculum. Through our partnership with Artsmark, we ensure that the arts are central to our children’s education, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. This collaboration allows us to continually enhance our arts programs, providing children with diverse opportunities in music, drama, visual arts, and dance. By aligning our curriculum with the rigorous standards of Artsmark, we aim to inspire a lifelong appreciation of the arts and support every child’s artistic potential.
