The Prep art syllabus follows the National Curriculum guidelines and provides a broad range of opportunities for our pupils to explore their creative potential through both 2 and 3-dimensional projects. There is a Fine Art emphasis with a focus on drawing as the basis to all projects.

The art department is situated in a spacious studio, supported by a full time art assistant, which facilitates greater autonomy and independence within our pupils enabling them to explore their ideas using the facilities through a wide range of 2-dimensional (drawing, painting and printmaking) and 3-dimensional media (clay, papier mache, wire and mod roc).

There are displays throughout the school celebrating children’s achievements and enjoyment. Beyond the art studio, our pupils are encouraged to explore their local environment for project work and to visit galleries and exhibitions.
