At Mandle Mill Primary School we believe that creative thinking encourages children to make positive changes to their quality of life. Children are introduced to a range of artists of different backgrounds, cultures and times, to inspire their artwork. Through the study of Art and Design they combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetic and social and environmental issues. This allows them to reflect on and evaluate their work and the work of other artists. Art and Design helps all children to develop their imaginative thinking and become innovators of the future.
