Curriculum Intent
Curriculum Implementation
At Grove, Art is a fundamental part of teaching and learning and is taught from EYFS to Year 6. Children in the Early Years are encouraged to be creative, use their imaginations and explore using a range of media and materials.
Art and Design is taught on a half-termly basis throughout Year 1-6, which alternates with Design and Technology. In addition to Art lessons, children are also given the opportunity to develop and apply their art knowledge and skills during Art / Woodland sessions.
Curriculum Impact
Our vision is to foster in children a love of Art and develop creativity. Pupil voice is an important part of our assessment allowing us to continually reflect upon our Arts curriculum and our offer of extra-curricular activities.
Formative assessment is used to move children’s learning forward in Art and to inform their next steps. Summative assessments take place on a termly basis and attainment is tracked against National Curriculum expectations.
