At Oatlands School we aim to inspire a broad range of exciting, artistic and relevant experiences which fuels creative imagination.  Art at Oatlands promotes diversity, respect and intercultural understanding, enhanced well-being, self-esteem and confidence, fostering transferable skills and supporting problem solving. Children develop high standards of skills and techniques in painting, drawing, photography and multimedia, animation, printing, mixed media, sculpture and installation. Through traditional and contemporary practice children at Oatlands are encouraged to express themselves creatively and have a voice to be heard.

Art at Oatlands is recognised for its collaboration with arts organisations and its many achievements locally, nationally and internationally and celebrates creative expression and individuality for all children.
