In our curriculum we encourage students to develop their creativity. Using their perceptions and their imagination they explore visual, tactile and other sensory experiences to communicate their unique ideas.
They work with new and traditional media realising skills and techniques while developing their confidence and independence in learning. By engaging in purposeful creative activities students learn to take risks and develop an understanding of how fine art, design and craft will enrich their lives, now and in the future.
Projects at Key Stage 3 are aimed at understanding, respecting and engaging with their local environment and other cultural traditions.  While themes in the projects aim to appreciate and value images and artefacts across time and cultures, students learn to apply research and investigative skills to art, craft and design. 
Through exploring and sharing ideas in the projects we aim to promote at Key Stage 3 an enterprising culture, which develops the students’ ability to work in different roles in teams. This then increases the confidence in the student’s feelings of self-worth.
