Art and Design Technology
To ensure that there is a depth to our curriculum we have an ongoing focus on Design and Technology and Art and Design.
As part of this focus, each class from Pre-School to Year 6 focus on the concepts, content, vocabulary, knowledge and practical skill acquisition associated with subjects associated with creativity.
At the end of the term, depth (Kapow Learning Statements) and breadth (National Curriculum End Points) are assessed using analyse tasks and pupil conferencing.
Art and Design Technology will be taught to deepen the National Curriculum and enhance the experiences of a topic.

Please note that it is our aim to follow the units in the suggested mixed aged order by Kapow Primary, however we may change them if we feel that they would work better linked to other units / topics from across the National Curriculum.
