Art & Design

At Loders, we aim to develop children’s creativity. They have opportunities to draw, paint, print, make collages, use fabrics and threads and use clay. They are taught the skills and techniques, including digital media, and are then given the opportunity to practise them to produce individual and group pieces of work. As children go up through the school, they are encouraged to think critically and develop an understanding about art and design. Every two years the school organises an ‘Arts Week’ which culminates in a parade through the village. We engage local artists, volunteers and parents to support us.
