‘A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of Art, Craft and Design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of Art and Design’ (DfE, 2014). Our teachers; whilst embracing the aims of the National Curriculum, are a unique and extremely flexible approach to the delivery of Art and Design as they will plan to cater for the topic maps of each individual school, which in turn encourages cross-curricular learning opportunities for children.
