Intent

At Hebden Royd school we believe that “Every child is an artist.” (Pablo Picasso)

Our curriculum aims to give every child the knowledge and skills they need to be able to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. To celebrate the children’s artistic achievements their work often forms the centrepiece of display throughout the school and elsewhere in the community when opportunities arise. We encourage them in their critical thinking both of their own work, their peers and the work of great artists and craftspeople from a wide variety of cultures and time periods.
