Horfield Primary School: Our Artsmark Journey
Horfield Primary School, located in the Westbury-on-Trym area of Bristol, have recently been awarded Artsmark Platinum Status. A keen advocate for creativity in the curriculum, Headteacher Jenny Taylor said:
“We want children to be creative and confident learners, and clearly the arts are a very effective way of enabling them to be those people that can take their place in the world with the arts central to what they do”
Horfield prides itself on offering a rich, broad and balanced curriculum, recently recognised by the UKLA for groundbreaking work, particularly in the arts.
As an Artsmark Platinum school, Horfield’s innovative approach to education is merging art with writing, blurring the lines between the two and allowing children to learn at the edge of their experience create opportunities for meaningful and memorable learning.
