Art
At Christ Church Academy, all pupils have art on their timetable once a week. Alongside this, there are extra-curricular opportunities during lunchtimes and after school, enabling pupils to extend their learning.
The art department is a vibrant and stimulating area that regularly spills out into the corridors and other areas of the school. All art lessons are taught in a specialist classroom by specialist teaching staff that have high expectations for each and every pupil. The art room contains a kiln, a small library section and iPads. We also have a number of community links which allows us to showcase the pupils’ talents further.
The department’s planning aims to raise the pupils’ awareness of the world around them and promotes transferable life skills such as: creativity, time management, working with others, self-expression and problem solving. The lessons also aim to allow all pupils to realise their own creative potential and to explore this with confidence.
