At Christ Church Primary School we believe that the Arts encompass a wide range of subject areas and disciplines including Music, Dance, Drama, Art and Design. Arts at our school means providing our pupils not only with the opportunity to learn about and participate in each of these areas, but also providing them with the platform from which to be creative, to express themselves, find success and share these experiences, talents and abilities through performance.
At Christ Church Primary School we are committed to providing all children with the opportunities to engage and succeed in the Arts, regardless of background, language and or special needs through high quality, adaptive teaching. We encourage children to share and explore both their own and new diverse cultural experiences in the Arts. The school’s commitment to inclusion is further detailed in our equal opportunities and inclusion policies.
We are passionate about developing and promoting the Arts through an enjoyable, creative and cross curricular approach. As well as focussed high quality teaching of the National Curriculum Programmes of Study in classes, we enrich our children’s learning and experiences of the Arts through a range of school time and after school specialist club opportunities.
We are also committed to providing opportunities for our children to have a voice within school; our student council meet every half term to discuss current issues within school including the Arts. An idea led by the student council was to have an annual ‘Christ Church has Talent’ contest. Each year group holds auditions in the Spring Term and the winners go on to a final where they can share and perform their abilities and talents in any of the Arts to the whole school.
At Christ Church Primary School, we aim to ensure that all our children enjoy, thrive, succeed and achieve their potential in the Arts.
At Christ Church Primary School we strive to remain an Artsmark school.
