 Our Scheme

We use Access Art as our scheme for the teaching of our Art curriculum. The curriculum is designed around the idea that art is far more than a series of technical skills. The curriculum is holistic and nurtures creative thinking skills which helps our children learn through art as well as about art.

By the time our children leave our school we want them to feel they have found an area of art that is relevant and engaging to them. This might be through drawing, making, designing or talking about art.

Our children access, explore and experiment with a wide range of resources such as compressed graphite, charcoal, watercolour, ink and acrylic paint. They are encouraged to express themselves through art and to enjoy all that they do.

We have one theme each half term that all the classes focus on enabling them to develop their knowledge and skills as they revisit key learning over time. Here are the themes we focus on each half term.
