Be an Artist at DIA
Art & Design Intent
Through the umbrella of the arts children at Danesholme Infant Academy become equipped with skills to develop as creative learners. Their resilience and stamina is developed through high quality cultural experiences and engaging in music, dance and creative art activities. This is weaved through their reading and writing as children share cultural stories, non-fiction information texts and produce their own innovative writing that is facilitated through experiential learning activities, high quality speaking and listening; modelling and drama experiences. This approach supports the academy vision to provide rich and stimulating learning beyond the classroom for all learners and the expand ‘cultural capital’ for every child.
