DT & Art

At Kelvedonhatch Primary school, it is our intent to promote an inclusive Art curriculum that provides opportunities for all children to develop as confident, ambitious and independent artists.

It is our aim that all children enjoy Art and have the opportunity to progress their skills through: using a range of materials and disciplines, colour, mark making and 3D modelling. Our art and design curriculum allows children to explore artists and art culture from around the world, developing cultural capital with clear progression through the school from Reception through to year 6.

Children will acquire resilience and creativity through the Art curriculum and there are a range of opportunities for extra-curricular activities linked to Art including: colouring club.

Children will acquire resilience and creativity through the DT curriculum. They develop an understanding of the role design and technology plays both in our society and globally.

We aim to, wherever possible, link work to other disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. The children are also given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its uses and its effectiveness and are encouraged to become innovators and risk-takers.
