Department Intent
The Creative curriculum at Bury Church is inclusive and nurturing whilst striving for excellence. Pupils are allowed to think independently and creatively express themselves. All pupils are treated as valued individuals that are allowed to make mistakes in a secure environment. The Creative Arts builds up the confidence of those with low self-esteem whilst allowing competitiveness. The Creative Art lessons strive to be fun, yet challenging, whilst allowing pupils to relax and lose themselves in their own creativity.The Creative Arts curriculum is based on developing a wide range of important skills. These include fine motor skills, decision making, language development, visual learning and inventiveness. Through practitioners’ research, children also develop their cultural awareness and consider the wider world and history. Projects are deep rooted in acceptance and inclusion whilst exploring and learning about diversity.
