Facilitating Creativity - Thinking Then Producing

The curriculum in Expressive Arts aims to challenge, inspire and enrich school life, enabling every student to gain pride and self confidence in their achievements. We strive to deliver an accessible curriculum which students of all ages and abilities will find rich and exciting, a journey of diverse, new experiences and discovery of new skills, hidden talents and the development of existing abilities and interests.

We seek to allow students to establish a sense of identity and ownership and to strive to reach the limits of their potential. We value the individuality of each student and help each child value that individuality in others. The structure of learning aims to develop each student’s ability to express themselves in a variety of dynamic mediums and disciplines and to have the confidence to use this knowledge, not only as a means of communicating their ideas and feelings, but to also make sense of the events and elements of the everyday world.

Through the universal language of the expressive arts we want to provide a vehicle through which the simplest to the most complex ideas can be expressed. We promote issues of equal opportunities by allowing for freedom of expression, the symbolic language of the arts knows no gender, racial, ethnic, cultural, class or social bounds. It has the scope to meet the needs of all students.
