Seven Mills
Primary School
Ambitious, Compassionate
& Empowered
Art is led by Connie and DT is led by Zuhara.
As part of our work on reinvigorating our curriculum, we have rewritten our Art and DT Curriculum, with greater emphasis on progression of skills and raising the ambition of the outcomes. Every year, children learn about Drawing, Painting and 3D sculpture in Art and Construction, Nutrition and Sewing in DT. There is a high level focus on artists, designers, architects and sculpters.
