As a church school we believe that every person, every child, and every adult is unique and special with God given gifts and talents which is our job to nurture and cherish.

The Arts

At Stanley St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School, we believe that the arts are the foundation of the curriculum, and we define the arts as music, dance, drama, art, film, photography, IT and literature. We believe that the arts offer opportunities for the children to explore, express and communicate their feelings whilst gaining experiences of the wider world. Through experiencing the arts, children develop their creativity, social and emotional well-being, self-esteem and confidence.

‘The arts are like your backbone. You may be

able to survive without your backbone but

what quality of life would you have?’

Sir Simon Rattle
