Our vision for Art at Etwall Primary School is to inspire every child to develop a lifelong appreciation of creativity and self-expression. We strive to equip children with the knowledge, skills and confidence to explore ideas, take creative risks and communicate through art. We support our children through our core values of Curious, Ambitious and Caring. 

🔍 Curious

We encourage children to explore a wide range of artists, materials and techniques, sparking imagination, creativity and a sense of wonder about the world around them.

⭐ Ambitious

We support children to develop and refine their artistic skills, take pride in their work and strive to achieve their personal best through perseverance and resilience.

🤝 Caring

We create an inclusive environment where every child’s ideas are valued, individual expression is celebrated and children learn to respect and appreciate the creativity of others.

🌍 Developing children’s cultural capital is central to our ethos at Etwall Primary School. We provide a wide range of opportunities for children to explore, create and be inspired, including:

• Creating portraits of famous people
• Designing Well Dressings
• Taking photographs
• Exploring mixed media
• Discovering both new and historical artists
• Taking part in our Happiness in Nature Project
• Contributing to our whole-school Art Exhibitions
