At Sidegate Primary School a sustained effort is being made to weave arts and culture into our teaching and learning. Establishing the arts in our school is being achieved through a range of arts projects, some standalone and some integrated into specific subject areas.
Building and sustaining relationships with artists in the community is another way in which we are ensuring arts and culture become embedded in everything that we do here. Allowing pupils to develop the skills associated with these areas also ensures the development of an enriched classroom environment.
Embedding the arts does not mean we are purely focused on dedicating attention to arts lessons. We use the arts throughout all subjects, and even match them with our values. For example, awareness of British values is purposefully stitched into our classroom life. We help to make this interactive for our pupils by celebrating the richness of arts and diversity of culture in Britain.
