Art and design
Our vision is to provide children opportunities to develop confidence, self-expression and become independent artists, whilst showing enjoyment in their creative journey. We believe that a high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.
Early Years Foundation Stage – Expressive Arts and DesignThe educational programme for expressive arts and design, set out in the EYFS Framework, is delivered in our preschool and reception classes in line with the Extend Preschool Curriculum and the Extend Reception Curriculum.
Key Stage 1 and 2 - Art and Design
We follow the national curriculum.
In Year 1, we teach art and design in line with our multi-academy trust’s ‘Extend Early Curriculum’.
We follow the Access Art scheme of work in Years 2-6 to deliver a rich, broad, balanced, diverse and engaging art curriculum.
We have organised the curriculum so that art is taught over 4 ½ terms of the year. To facilitate quality work, we follow the ‘split’ Access Art curriculum.
