Intent
At Lingdale Primary School, we envision children who leave our school not just as skilled artists, but as individuals who have developed a deep and lasting appreciation for the transformative power of art in human society. Throughout their time at school, our students will explore art in all its diversity and richness, recognizing how it shapes cultures, reflects historical contexts, and influences the world around us. They will understand art as a universal language that transcends time, geography, and individual differences, enabling them to engage with and respond to the world in creative, thoughtful, and meaningful ways.
We aim to nurture children who are not only technically proficient but also confident in their creative expression, using art to communicate ideas, emotions, and perspectives. Our curriculum fosters a holistic understanding of art that links the practical aspects of making with the theoretical knowledge of its history, significance, and cultural relevance. Students will leave our school with the ability to analyse and critique art, recognizing its value and purpose across different contexts and forms.
