    Art & Design Vision Statement

    At St Faith’s, we ensure every child is given the opportunity to develop their individual creativity. Children are equipped with the tools and knowledge to look at great artists critically and explore their place in a wider historical and social context. In lessons, children experiment with a range of techniques and materials, encouraging them to be resilient and curious artists.
