Subject Leadership

I’m Daisy Dutton, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new Art and Design Subject Leader at Frenchwood. I’ll be leading our creative curriculum using Kapow Primary, a fantastic resource that supports high-quality, progressive art education across all year groups.

Art and Design is a powerful way for children to express themselves, explore their identities, and connect with the world around them. My vision is to make our art curriculum inclusive, inspiring, and rich in cultural diversity, reflecting the vibrant community we serve.

Through Kapow, pupils will develop key skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, and design, while also learning to appreciate the work of artists from a wide range of backgrounds. More than that, I want our children to feel confident, curious, and proud of their creativity.

Art nurtures personal growth, encourages collaboration, and builds emotional resilience—all essential qualities for lifelong learning. I’m looking forward to celebrating our pupils’ artistic journeys and showcasing their talents throughout the school year.
