Art at Holtspur is taught with a focus on depth, quality, and genuine creative development. We nurture children as artists, encouraging them to think and work like creative practitioners. They develop ideas confidently, refine a range of techniques, and study influential artists linked to each year group’s topics.

Our exceptional outdoor space offers further opportunities for ambitious, expressive work. Throughout their time with us, pupils explore a wide range of art forms—drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and printmaking—while receiving direct teaching in the essential skills needed for each project. They are encouraged to experiment, analyse the artwork they plan to recreate, and understand its techniques and intentions.

By the end of Year 6, children can discuss a variety of artists, talk confidently about their work, and articulate the skills they have developed.
