At Ruskington Chestnut Street Primary Academy, our Art and Design curriculum inspires children to explore, experiment and create with confidence. We aim to equip all pupils with the skills and knowledge needed to express themselves through drawing, painting, sculpture and design. Through studying a wide range of artists and creative disciplines, children learn to think critically and understand how art shapes the past, present and future. Our carefully sequenced curriculum builds skills and creativity year on year, with pupils recording ideas in sketchbooks and evaluating their work. The impact is evident in their growing artistic confidence, high‑quality outcomes and vibrant displays across our school.
