Art at Sir Francis Hill

Intent

To build an Art curriculum which develops learning and results in all pupils, inclusively, knowing more, remembering more and understanding how the knowledge and skills can be applied to their own artwork.

Implementation

Clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum.

Teaching and Learning – This should show progression across all key stages within the strands of Art.

Knowledge – Children have access to key knowledge, language and meanings in order to understand and readily apply to their work in Art and across the wider curriculum.

Educational - Visits and visitors into school. Where applicable, links to art will be made to develop the children’s learning experiences.

Impact

More children will achieve age-related expectations in Art at the end of their cohort year.

Children will retain knowledge of their focus artists for each unit of work, remember this knowledge and understand how to use and apply it in their own artwork.

Children will understand what being an ‘artist’ means.
