At Camps Hill, we believe that every child is an artist with the potential to create work they can feel proud of. Our Art and Design curriculum is designed to equip pupils with a rich blend of practical, theoretical and disciplinary knowledge, taught progressively across all year groups. Children are introduced to a wide range of skills and techniques that enable them to develop as confident, expressive and reflective young artists.

We recognise that not all pupils have access to art materials or opportunities to practise creative skills at home. For this reason, our curriculum is intentionally designed to provide every child with meaningful opportunities to explore, engage, design and experiment with a wide range of media. Through carefully structured learning experiences, children are challenged to think creatively, make choices and develop their artistic voice.

As pupils move through the school, they study a diverse range of artists, artistic styles and creative traditions. These include both historical artists and contemporary creators, ensuring that children experience art from different time periods, cultures and disciplines. Artists are thoughtfully selected to reflect the multicultural and international diversity of our community, enabling pupils to see themselves represented while broadening their understanding of the wider world.
