At St Bernadette’s RC Primary School, we aim to provide all children with a broad & balanced curriculum which prepares them for life
beyond primary education. We believe that high-quality Art & DT lessons will engage & inspire children to think innovatively, develop
creative procedural understanding & exercise their creativity & imagination. The children are taught to combine their art & design skills
with knowledge & understanding in order to design & make a product that solve real & relevant problems within a variety of contexts,
considering their own & others’ needs wants & values. During art & design technology lessons, we teach children the language skills
they will need to be effective communicators. We actively encourage our children to be critical thinkers, forward planners & effective
problem solvers. We also teach our children to work on their own, as capable individuals, & as a valued member of a team. Resilience is
an important element of our art & DT, & whole school, curriculum & our children are encouraged to ‘innovate’ & take risks.

Our Art Subject Leader is Miss Owens.

“As the Art Subject Lead at St Bernadette’s, I am passionate about fostering creativity and self-expression in every child. Art offers a unique space where children can experiment, invent, and create their own works of art, encouraging them to push boundaries and think outside the box. As pupils progress through school, they will have the opportunity to articulate their ideas, think more critically, and deepen their understanding of art and design. By exploring a wide variety of artists from across the world, they will gain insight into different artistic styles and cultures whilst creating their own pieces of artwork. This journey not only nurtures our children’s artistic abilities but also helps them build a broader appreciation for the world of art.”- Miss Owens
