Art and Design at Holbeach Primary Academy
Art empowers all pupils with a strong foundation of knowledge and skills, fostering inclusive environments where creativity and self-expression are celebrated. We help students sculpt their ability to share thoughts, hopes, and emotions effectively
Once a child’s creative mind has been unlocked, we will build on the other important aspects of the Art and Design curriculum, how art has shaped history. This includes learning about famous artists and artwork, making links in our own work and looking at evaluating techniques.
Our Approach
- Pupils explore the visual and emotional impact of significant individuals, specific pieces and artistic movements spanning diverse time periods, cultures, mediums and demographics. They gain a deep appreciation of how art has shaped our history and continues to contribute to our future.
- All pupils, regardless of age or ability, have hands-on opportunities to develop core skills in drawing, painting, sculpture and textiles.
- Using Kapow alongside our themes, pupils engage in analytical discussions and create ambitious, personal projects.
Vision in Action
Our Art curriculum provides pupils with opportunities to feel safe and secure in their achievements by creating a supportive environment that values the creative process over the final product, encourages self-expression and risk-taking, and promotes constructive evaluation and celebration of individual progress.

This year we celebrated and discussed the celebration ‘Chinese New Year’.
Early Years learnt about the traditions associated with Chinese New Year and used their fine motor skills to create decorations.
Key stage 1 and 2 presented their learning in a Celebration assembly and linked their learning to our British Values.
