CURRICULUM

Art & Design

Art & Design Curriculum Ambition: National

Our Art & Design curriculum engages, inspires and challenges pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.  Pupils are encouraged to be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. Through the curriculum, they are taught about  how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

 

Art & Design Curriculum Ambition: Roselands

At Roselands we have an Art & Design specialist teacher and the pupils receive high quality provision, enabling them to develop their knowledge and skills from Year 1 to Year 2. 

In EYFS, the children have regular opportunities to engage with the arts, enabling them to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials. 

In Key stage 1 pupils  use a range of materials creatively to design and make products. THey develop their skills in drawing, painting and sculpture and  share their ideas, experiences and imagination  to develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space  Pupils are taught about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work. 

Our Vision: Be The Best We Can Be

We want our pupils to be confident, independent, high achieving learners who are prepared for the next stage of their education and can fully participate as global citizens.

We will achieve this by a commitment to providing an inclusive, safe and inspirational teaching and learning environment that promotes high expectations of all pupils.

We support one another to overcome challenges with confidence and resilience, showing respect for ourselves and each other. We celebrate hard work and effort and our successes are shared because we know that together we can achieve more.
