Our Art curriculum is knowledge rich. This means the knowledge children will gain has been carefully specified and ordered, so it coherently builds over time. Elements are aligned with the school’s history and geography curriculum. This provides further opportunities to deepen and develop understanding. This approach means that the knowledge children will be taught has been identified, in each year group, in each unit and in each lesson. As children work through the curriculum they will gain a deeper understanding of core strands within Art.
