The Art, Craft & Design Curriculum

“Creativity takes courage…” (Henri Matisse)

Art, Craft and Design embodies some of the highest forms of human creativity. The art education at NMS engages, inspires and challenges pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they can think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They also learn how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. At NMS we inspire creativity and independence, unlock potential and out-perform expectations.
