World Aware  

Children will be given the opportunity to study Art and Design across a range of cultures and historical eras.  

Belonging  

Through studying Art and Design across a range of cultures and historical eras, our children will learn about inclusivity, diversity and equality. We will encourage our children to participate in local community-based projects, when these present themselves.    

Well-being  

For many pupils Art becomes a therapeutic and relaxing activity that aids mental health, we will aim to develop a lifelong enjoyment of Art and Design in this way.  We will appreciate and celebrate the success of all children, to develop self-confidence in free expression.    

Spirituality  

Children will be encouraged to use creativity and imagination to make connections with their world.  

Possibilities  

Children will be encouraged to use imaginative, innovative and inventive ways to develop and express their ideas. They will be given opportunities to use a range of different mediums and materials.   

The Art and design scheme of work at Aylburton and English Bicknor C of E Primary Schools aims to inspire pupils and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. The scheme is written by experts in their field and designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their abilities, nurture their talents and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists across cultures and through history. At Aylburton and English Bicknor C of E Primary Schools, we follow the Kapow scheme of work for our Art and Design lessons. The scheme of work supports pupils to meet the national curriculum end of key stage attainment targets and has been written to fully cover the National Society for Education in Art and Design’s progression competencies. The lessons we teach have an intention of providing a high-quality, coherent and progressive experience of the subject, with scope for cross-curricular learning.
