The Arts at Winhills | Winhills Primary Academy

The Arts at Winhills Primary Academy :

The Arts represent an outlet of expression, that is usually influenced by culture and which in turn helps to change culture. As such, the arts are a physical manifestation of the internal creative impulse.

At Winhills we offer a vast range of Art activities from Reception right through to when the children leave in Year 6.

On offer within the school timetable are : Dance, Drama, Zumba, Gymnastics, sports, Young voices, Indian Drumming, Artists and their Art., Art and craft and poetry writing. After school clubs include; Cake decorating, Ornament making, Cross country, Gymnastics, Tennis, Football, Netball and Tag Rugby.

The children are very fortunate to have external coaches come in and teach many of these areas of The Arts.
