Art and Design enables your child to develop and express the power of his or her unique individuality. There is mystery and magic in the creative process.

That is why art work invades our corridors and spreads its influence throughout our school.

We teach children the craft skills necessary for them to express their imagination in visual and tactile form. They learn drawing, design, painting, printing, collage, 3D work and textiles, and enjoy a rich range of visual and physical experiences including visits to outdoor spaces, galleries and artists’ studios.

Children in the Nursery and Reception classes are taught by their class teacher. Pupils in Years 1 – 8 are taught by a specialist art teacher.

Perhaps nothing your child achieves at Thornlow will give you greater cause for amazement than what he or she achieves in the realm of the arts.
