Art is led by Mrs Molloy.
At Bovingdon Primary Academy every child is an artist! We celebrate creativity throughout the curriculum and encourage children to develop their own artistic style. Our art lessons are designed to be fun, imaginative and gradually build upon the children’s art skills. We are regularly looking out for opportunities to promote creativity and encourage children to enter local art competitions and exhibitions to showcase their talents. We also regularly take part in The National Gallery’s Take One Picture week, a time where staff and children can fully immerse themselves into the world of art.
