Curriculum Intent

We believe that every child is an artist and that Art is many things, our curriculum aim is for students to feel and know this. We deliver a broad curriculum which will challenge, but also inspire and enable all children at Weydon to experience and enjoy success in art in key stage 3 and 4.  Our learning journey is designed to promote visual literacy while inspiring a life-long interest in creating and learning about art, craft and design.
