Art & Design Technology

Imagining, designing, making — and learning from every attempt.

Art

Confident young artists

In Art, children explore drawing, painting, printing, collage and sculpture, developing technique and the confidence to express their own ideas. They study artists and craftspeople from around the world — including Malawi and the wider African continent — and use what they learn to inspire their own work.

  • Sketchbooks that record ideas and progress over time
  • Exploration of colour, line, texture, pattern and form
  • Work celebrated in displays and exhibitions

Design & Technology

Design thinking for real problems

DT brings together creativity, science and mathematics. Pupils investigate products, design for a purpose, build prototypes with a range of materials and tools, then evaluate and improve them.

Projects often connect to our African context — for example, exploring traditional building materials or designing solutions to local challenges such as access to clean water.
