Art and Design

 Vision statement and intent

The curriculum at Skelmanthorpe Academy is designed to be ambitious for all pupils and high expectations are set for all subjects.

The sequential delivery of units and information, means that the children experience learning in chunks which do not overload the working memory, allowing pupils to build on and secure past knowledge.

Pedagogy of learning is key and individual knowledge of the SEND learners plays a part in how the curriculum can be adapted so that pupils with SEND are not disadvantaged.

This information is based on research reports carried out by OFSTED and how schools can best support pupils with SEND in accessing the curriculum.

SEND in the Art Curriculum

Expectations for pupils with SEND are not lowered in the delivery of the Art curriculum in school. It is designed to consider the use of sources that ensure pupils can make sense of artwork and the opportunity to practice different components. It is recognised that within the delivery of Art in school some targeted teaching can be effective for pupil with SEND to reach specific goals. Careful consideration is given to the range of artists studied to allow inclusivity and diversity for pupils with SEND.
