At Waingroves Primary School, we implement our art curriculum that is progressive throughout the school. Art is planned and delivered termly with two dedicated days to each core skill, drawing, painting and sculpture outlined by the Primary National Curriculum. All children, including SEND and pupil premium children, are encouraged to be expressive and independently creative. A variety of additional, experimental techniques are also available using a range of materials. All children are given the opportunity to reflect on artists’ work as well as their own across the school. In Foundation Stage, children experience Art and Design through activities planned as part of the Early Years Curriculum. In addition to planned activities on two dedicated days, children have continuous access to a range of art and craft materials to stimulate creativity and develop art skills. In Key Stage 1, children continue to develop their creativity and imagination through a wide range of activities, using a range of materials. Children are given opportunities to explore the works of famous artists as well as less known artists, crafts people and designers from a variety of cultures including locally. They are encouraged to ask questions such as, how do I feel about it? In Key Stage 2, children build on their skills, knowledge and understanding of processes and materials. They are encouraged to think critically about Art, artists and designers. |

Pupil Assessment & Attainment During art lessons, children’s learning is measured using observations, reflection questions and pupil voice. This is used to support the planning and development of teaching and learning in the short term. Art books travel through school with each child which supports teacher assessment during the year as well as the Subject Leader’s monitoring of data and progression.
Art Subject Area and School Improvement Planning The subject leader: • Measures the impact through monitoring lessons, including; learning walks, having professional discussions with staff, pupil voice and looking at evidence of pupils’ work. • Evaluates the impact and plans for future development of the subject for pupils and staff. • Looks to develop new opportunities, refines current practice giving advice and support to fellow staff.
Overall Intended Impact To ensure: • Art is explorative and expressive for pupils, which generates a love of Art as a subject and an appreciation of the world around them. • Teachers have the confidence and knowledge to deliver a well-planned and interesting curriculum to pupils using a range of resources and approaches. • All children, including SEND and pupil premium children, make good progress in their understanding of skills and knowledge attainment. • All children including SEND and pupil premium children, access a range of different learning opportunities, both indoors (including the use of up-to-date books in the library) and outdoors (including Forest School). • Staff evaluate the impact of their teaching and learning and develop their practice to suit the learners in their classroom. • The subject leader can identify strengths and areas for development of the subject and act upon it in the interest of the school. |
