Art 

The art curriculum at St. Andrew’s is designed to encourage creativity and personal expression. Through stand-alone and cross-curricular units, we understand the importance of inspiring an appreciation of art. We do this by teaching our children about great artists, designers and craft makers. These may be linked to other curriculum areas.

We encourage creativity in sketchbooks, which are used to gather information, explore and develop skills. These also form a record of skills and knowledge gained over a child's schooling at St. Andrew's.

Enrichment Opportunities
To provide a broad and rich artistic experience, we also offer additional art opportunities through a range of art trips, visits, clubs and projects across the school year. 

Arts Week
Every few years we hold a whole school Arts Week. This takes place across all the key stages and incorporates a wide range of expressive and performing arts. We book artists-in-residence to work alongside the children, demonstrating skills, expertise and a passion for the arts. Every child is given the opportunity to become fully immersed in the creative curriculum through a carefully designed program of lessons.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics)
For our older pupils, we take part in yearly STEAM competitions, organised by the Borough. Here, pupils are given the opportunity to work creatively and collaboratively on a range of given tasks, using mechanical, electrical and computing systems.
