Art

Appreciation of famous artists, sculptors and photographers and their work is divided into each year group so that pupils are familiar with at least fourteen pieces of work and seven artists by the time they leave the Primary school.  A copy of the art work for the year group study is displayed in each classroom throughout the year.
