Art

Art is an important part of the school experience at The Mall.  From the moment your child joins the school, they will take part in a range of creative art activities. In Reception to Year 3, they are taught art in their classroom and then from Years 4 to 6, they are taught in a purpose-built, spacious studio. There they will be taught technical and practical skills to enable them to use a wide range of materials confidently and competently, including firing their own clay works of art in our kiln. Each year we also host an art fair in the summer term, where the children create bespoke artwork for the fair and parents can donate to support our partnership school Chitsime.

From Year 4,children are also taught design technology and are able to use equipment including a laser cutter, milling machine and 3D printer.

Art and DT curriculum guides can be found here.
