Growing In Faith and Learning
Welcome to St Leonard's CofE Primary School
Welcome to St. Leonard’s Church of England Primary School. We hope our website gives you a flavour of our vibrant, happy school and the achievements of our delightful children. We are a thriving church school in the picturesque village of Wigginton with a strong Christian ethos, growing in faith and learning. We passionately believe in developing the ‘whole child’ and ensure all children have the opportunity to reach their goals and shine in their own unique and wonderful way. Our kind, caring and dedicated team nurture, motivate and encourage our children to be confident and well-rounded members of their community. I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of St. Leonard’s, a place where children develop a passion for learning, feel good about themselves, are proud of their achievements and create lasting memories of friendship and connection in our school family. I warmly invite you to come and visit us at St. Leonard’s Mrs Kirsty Cullen, Headteacher.Art & Design
Curriculum Intent - Art and Design
Our intent for art is to not only model and teach the skills and knowledge for art, but also to nurture a passion for creativity and a development of personal ideas and growth. We aim to provide a wealth of opportunities for children to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. Children should be given opportunities to experiment with a variety of media, techniques and presentation and have opportunities to explore the works of great artists.
Useful Information
Do you want to know what your child will be learning in Art and Design?
Below you will find a copy of our Art and Design policy which will give you an idea of what we are aiming to achieve in Art and Design at St. Leonard's. You will also find a copy of our long term curriculum map. In our school, we follow a two year rolling programme (as we have mixed age classes). This ensures that children have full coverage of the National Curriculum and do not repeat any topics/learning.
We want to ensure that throughout their time with us, children are building their skills ready for their next stage in learning. Therefore we have produced a progression of skills map (see below). Take a look at the map to see what is expected of your child at the end of each year group.
Finally, I have added a link to the National Curriculum for Art and Design.
If you have any Art and Design related questions please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Lowe who leads the subject in our school.
