Art and Design Policy
POLICY STATEMENT
This policy outlines our approach to delivering Art and Design to reflect the aims of the school’s action plan. It sets out a framework to guide all staff. This policy compliments the 2014 National Curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
INTENT
Content of the Art and Design curriculum is broad, balanced, ambitious and rich.
The Art and Design curriculum covers a range of skills, knowledge, creativity and self-reflection linked to the National Curriculum.
The Curriculum Map outlines 3 termly projects which cover the whole Art and Design curriculum.
Knowledge and skills are clearly defined within the progression map section of the Curriculum map. This outlines how Art and Design will be taught in sequential, progressively more difficult steps from EYFS to Year 6.
Medium term schemes of work and lesson plans show how knowledge, skills and creativity will be taught and developed consistently.
Teaching and Learning:

Some examples of the provision that we have for children with SEND are:
Wherever possible, a range of equipment and resources to allow participation in Art and Design activities.

IMPACT
There is evidence of pupils applying knowledge or skills they have learned across time – something they learned in one lesson being applied in a future session or unit of work. There is evidence of pupils knowing and doing what has been taught, for example in their Art Books, in displays and through pupil conferencing. Pupils are confident, reflective and creative learners.
