Thomas Jolyffe Primary School

Art & Design

Vision

At Thomas Jolyffe, our vision is for all pupils to develop and show appreciation of a rang of art, whilst developing their imagination, creativity and confidence to express themselves freely using a variety of materials and techniques.

Pupil Voice

"I love art, especially observational drawing and shading."

"When I do art, I just feel so at ease and like I'm on cloud nine! I just love it!"

"It's a calming and relaxing subject."

"You can make art your own and can express yourself and be different."

"Art is not like any other subject, because there is no right or wrong."

"I would like to do art every day!"

"If you think about it, art just gives you a world of imagination. It makes me feel great and like I want to do it again and again."

Mrs M Kamburova

Art Leader 

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
