 The Arts 

We believe that the arts engage our pupils and provides exciting opportunities for our children to develop their social skills  and cultural understanding.  All children have opportunities both in the curriculum and in extra-curricula activities to participate in visual art, dance, music, drama and creative writing.  We pride ourselves on our provision and the fantastic opportunities we provide.  We are an Arts Mark silver school and  in addition, we are also Arts Award registered and look to encourage more children to complete the Discover and Explore award in the future after some of our year three children successfully achieved the Discover award last term.

Visual Art 

​During each term, every child receives explicit art sessions and evidence of their learning is evident in the fantastic displays around our school.  We have also been fortunate to work with Nicola Burrell who is a full time artist and sculptor and we hope to welcome her back to the school soon to continue her amazing work with our year six children..  During the course of the year, children will get to experience 6 different strands of visual art; drawing, painting, printing, collage, textiles and 3D. 

Performing Arts 


We have a very strong core of performing arts that  runs right through the school.  From the year 3 annual Christmas production to the end of school year 6 production, the talent show and the yearly performances at Snape and at Dance East, we certainly celebrate and showcase the children’s talents! Mrs Miller runs a host of performing arts clubs throughout the year and alongside her, Sam Moss delivers bespoke dance lessons designed around our curriculum.   We have recently introduced a boys only dance squad which is also proving to be very popular!  We very much hope to welcome all of our clubs back very soon!
 

Music 
​

 ​We have a dedicated music teacher, Mrs Hart, and each child receives music lessons as well as the opportunity for 1:1 music tuition.  The children’s achievements are celebrated during our Christmas and Easter concerts and our choirs perform regularly in the community throughout the year.  Mrs Hart also runs different choirs and these often perform in the community and further afield.
 

Creative Writing 

Writing across the school is inspired by a range of different stimulus - from film to artwork to cross curricular links that develop understanding and empathy for others. Our gifted and talented writers are able to fine tune their writing in weekly workshops with the local author, Fred Sedgewick whom we hope to welcome back to the school soon..
