A creative and imaginative curriculum will help children reach their full potential in this subject. ### The Implementation of our Art and Design Curriculum Children develop their understanding of the visual language of art with effective teaching, planned sequences of lessons and experiences of a range or media. Our art and design curriculum provides an opportunity for children to improve their skills in key areas of art and design – drawing, painting, sculpture and electronic media – as well as exploring other techniques and skills. We also spend time learning about and having an appreciation of artists, sculptors, architects and creative individuals from the past and the present. All this provides the children with an opportunity to develop their ability to make informed judgements as well as practical decisions. Resilience to try again or adapt an idea when things don’t go quite as planned, is another valuable skill that is encouraged when needed. ### The Impact off our Art and Design Curriculum As well as developing as artists and creative thinkers, children will develop the ability to communicate effectively about their own and others’ work, expressing preferences and developing an appreciation of art and design. And, most importantly, children will enjoy being creative and have fun during lessons. ### Art Curriculum [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20210331_111333.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20210331_111333.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20201009_131714.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20201009_131714.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_2177.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_2177.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/AACDBDF6-44B6-48F0-82F9-DEC5C443180E.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/AACDBDF6-44B6-48F0-82F9-DEC5C443180E.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20211207_154926(1).jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20211207_154926(1).jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/Y1_Great_Fire_Art1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/Y1_Great_Fire_Art1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/thumbnail_IMG_3040.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/thumbnail_IMG_3040.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20220902_122948.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/ARTandDESIGN/Art_Images_For_SL_Page/IMG_20220902_122948.jpg) - [![Woodland Trust - Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/woodland_trust_gold.jpg)](https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/get-involved/schools/green-tree-school-award/) - [![Primary Science Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/PSQM_Award_2018.jpg)](http://www.psqm.org.uk/) - [![The Catholic Teaching Alliance](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/CTA.png)](https://www.catholic-teaching-alliance.org/) - [![School Sports Network](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/Lancaster_-_Heysham_SSN_letter_members_logo(1).jpg)](https://www.lhssn.co.uk/) - [![School Games Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/School_Games_badge_(1).png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/) - [![School Virtual Games Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/School_Games_virtual_badge_(1).png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/) - [![Operation Encompass](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/Operation_Encompass.png)](https://www.operationencompass.org/) ##### Location Balmoral Road Lancaster Lancashire LA1 3BT ##### Contact Us 01524 64686 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584762347179) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Cathedral Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/splash/PTA_DATES_FOR_YOUR_DIARY_R261023(1).jpg)
