Art
Our aim at Burlington Junior School is to enable pupils to become creative and reflective learners who are able to express themselves fluently and confidently in a variety of different ways.
Within the curriculum, Art will clearly contribute towards this, enabling pupils to respond thoughtfully to different learning and stimuli. Our artists should be able to develop their cultural understanding in a range of contexts, Art being one of them.
We also want our pupils to understand that the perseverance and attentiveness needed to complete an Art and Design project leads to personal pride and gratification.
