Art and Design
Statement of Intent
Our intent at Parkdale is that every child embraces their inner artist, to value the impact of art within our lives and to stimulate curiousity, creativity and imagination. Our Art and Design curriculum provides children of all abilities with opportunities to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern, different materials and processes.
ARTSMARK AWARD
The Artsmark Award is a creative quality standard for schools accredited by the Arts Coucil England and we are so excited to be starting our journey towards achieving the Artsmark Award. Our main goal is to develop and celebrate our commitment to arts and cultural education for all at Parkdale. The Artsmark will help to:
- Build young people’s confidence, character and resilience through arts and cultural education
- Embed creativity across the whole curriculum
- Celebrate our commitment to cultural education with pupils, staff and our local community
