At Fern House School, our Art curriculum is dedicated to nurturing creative confidence within our young people. We believe the aim of art education extends beyond fostering artistic and social skills; it is about tapping into each individual's unique creativity, empowering them with the confidence to apply this ingenuity across all areas of their lives.
Art provides a powerful space for expression where there are no 'right or wrong' answers – a concept that contrasts with the often-rigid experiences some of our pupils may be accustomed to. Through engaging with art, we encourage pupils to discover a new visual language, offering an additional means to communicate. This visual literacy not only contributes to their problem-solving abilities but also significantly supports their emotional well-being and personal growth.
