Our Artsmark Ambassadors are charged with a mission: to make the arts at Colsterworth the best it can possibly be!  We are passionate about delivering a creative and inspiring curriculum for our pupils. Our school commitment to the arts is encapsulated by our Artsmark journey where we monitor and review our arts provision. This helps to ensure we are striving for excellence (quality provision 1) and all children have the opportunity for personal progression. (quality principle 6)

What are the arts?

• Visual arts – drawing, painting, sculpture, collage
• Performing arts – drama, dance, music, singing
• Digital arts – photography, video, animation

What does an Artsmark Ambassador do?

• Attend meetings
• Make suggestions to improve our learning in the arts
• Make decisions about what happens
• Feedback to class
• Be objective, which means reporting all the ideas from your class not just the ones you agree with
• Lead tasks and small projects within school and the community

Willoughby Art Competition

Across the school, our talented artists have been hard at work preparing entries for the Willoughby Open Art Competition in Corby Glen. From our youngest pupils to our oldest, creativity has been flowing through painting, clay, pastels, sketching, and even printing techniques!

• Tiger Class took inspiration from their Ancient Egypt topic to produce stunning Egyptian-themed artwork.
• Leopard Class channelled their medieval knowledge into striking mixed-media pieces.
• Our After-School Kids’ Club explored printing to design beautiful seasonal scenes.
• And during Golden Time, several budding artists created enchanting works inspired by The Lost Words.

Well done, Team Colsterworth — you have truly shown that you have the Art WOW Factor!
