The Arts at Avondale
We believe every child has their own creative spark and during their time at Avondale, we'll uncover and nurture this talent. Whether it’s through art, music or drama, we use the arts to enable our pupils to express themselves and enjoy the freedom to be creative.
Each department has a specialised teacher with great enthusiasm and passion within their specific subject. The music department also offers additional lessons with extra staff for a wide variety of instruments.
Art & Design
We believe every child is an artist and our aim is to build confidence through creative play and visual self-expression so as to allow their potential to flourish.
Pupils who are keen to develop their talents further in these subjects have access to numerous clubs after school.
Music
Music plays a crucial role at Avondale, from the moment pupils enter Nursery they are given plenty of opportunities to develop their talents. Pupils at Avondale receive a weekly Music lesson taught by a specialist Music teacher and are encouraged to sing in a choir, learn an instrument or play a role in the extra-curricular life of the school.
Singing is fundamental to every Music lesson and our pupils are taught a diverse and engaging repertoire. The opportunity children have to make and perform music is a real strength of the Department. Pupils are given regular opportunities to perform in concerts, as soloists or as part of ensembles. This enables children to gain confidence in front of an audience; we pride ourselves on the quality of these performances and the pupils relish the opportunities to perform.
Drama
Drama at Avondale is a vibrant and central aspect of the school curriculum, and plays an integral role in the personal development of the children.
With an exciting curriculum and regular performance opportunities, our pupils are able to improve their speaking and social skills in an engaging and safe learning environment.
