The Arts
The Arts Curriculum incorporates 4 disciplines:
visual art, dance, drama and music.
The classroom teacher in Y1-6 is responsible for art, dance and drama with specialist music teachers responsible for music programmes although classroom teachers often integrate it in the classroom as well.
Many colourful examples of students’ visual art, including 3D works, are displayed with pride around the
Junior
School.
We are fortunate at St Cuthbert’s College to have support from the drama department based in the
Senior
School and to have a separate purpose built Dance room in the
Junior
School.
The Arts programme in Y7-8 is taught by specialist teachers with classroom teachers incorporating aspects of each subject into class programmes where appropriate.
Professional development for the Arts is available to teachers and a range of appropriate resources continue to be developed.
