In Art and Design we focus on the values of **Love**, **Patience** and **Humility.** ### Art and Design Curriculum Intent The Art and Design Department aims to provide a positive, supportive and informative place, where students are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity to express themselves. We want to allow all students the ability to access art, embrace mistakes, take risks and understand that being a good artist is not defined only as having the ability to draw. Our aim is to engage, inspire and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As students’ progress through the Key Stages, they should become critical thinkers, develop an understanding of how Art and Design both reflects and shapes our history and contributes to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. We encourage Independent research to enable students in both key stages to discover art, craft, design and architecture beyond the curriculum. There are opportunities for students to get involved in extra-curricular activities such as the Lower School Art Clubs. Here students are encouraged to experiment with lots of different media and techniques pursuing personal projects and accessing equipment for homework projects. ### Year 7 Art Curriculum Implementation 139 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/balshaws/files/documents/Year_7_Art_Curriculum_Implementation.pdf) Year 8 Curriculum Implementation 136 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/balshaws/files/documents/Year_8_Art_Curriculum_Implementation.pdf) Year 9 Curriculum Implementation 137 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/balshaws/files/documents/Year_9_Art_Curriculum_Implementation.pdf) Year 10 Curriculum Implementation 134 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/balshaws/files/documents/Year_10_Art_Curriculum_Implementation.pdf) Year 11 Curriculum Implementation 128 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/balshaws/files/documents/Year_11_Art_Curriculum_Implementation.pdf) ### Art and Design Department Staff If you want to speak to a member of the Art and Design department, these are the members of the department: **Curriculum Leader: Miss R Appleton** - **Miss C Barrow - Art Teacher** ### Technical Support staff - **Mr S Coghlan** ### Extra-curricular Opportunities in Art & Design - Key stage 3 Art Club - Key stage 4 Art Club - Year 10 trip to the World Museum Liverpool ### ### ### Curriculum - [Our Curriculum](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum) - [The Personal Development Curriculum](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/personal-development-curriculum) - [KS4 Options](https://balshaws.org.uk/parents-portal/ks4-options) - [Art and Design](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/art) - [Business & Computing](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/ict) - [Design and Technology](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/design-and-technology) - [Drama](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/drama) - [English](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/english) - [Film Studies](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/english-film-studies) - [Geography](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/geography) - [History](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/history) - [Mathematics](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/mathematics) - [Modern Languages](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/modern-languages) - [Music](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/music) - [Physical Education](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/pe) - [Personal, Social, Health & Economic (PSHE)](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/pshe) - [Religious Studies](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/re) - [Science](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/science) - [SEN Department](https://balshaws.org.uk/curriculum/sen-department) **Balshaw’s Church of England High School** Church Road Leyland PR25 3AH ### Useful Links - [Contact us](https://balshaws.org.uk/contact) - [Absence Reporting](https://balshaws.org.uk/absence-reporting) - [Future Events](https://balshaws.org.uk/future-events) - [Important Dates](https://balshaws.org.uk/calendar) © Copyright 2015–2026 Balshaw’s Church of England High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://balshaws.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
