Question 1

Intent, Implementation and Impact

Accepted Answer

Intent

For Art and design we use Kapow Primary’s revised Art and design scheme of work aims to inspire pupils and develop their  confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. Our scheme is written by experts in their  field and designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and  interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists  across cultures and through history. Our scheme supports pupils to meet the National curriculum end of key stage attainment targets and  has been written to fully cover the National Society for Education in Art and Design’s progression  competencies. Kapow Primary is an Artsmark partner and is able to support schools on their Artsmark journey,  inspiring children and young people to create, experience, and participate in great arts and culture.

Implementation

The Kapow Art revised scheme of work is designed with five strands that run throughout. These are:

● Generating ideas 
● Using sketchbooks
● Making skills, including formal elements (line, shape, tone, texture, pattern, colour) 
● Knowledge of artists 
● Evaluating and analysing

Units of lessons are sequential, allowing children to build their skills and knowledge, applying them to  a range of outcomes. The formal elements, a key part of the National Curriculum, are also woven  throughout units. Key skills are revisited again and again with increasing complexity in a spiral  curriculum model. This allows pupils to revise and build on their previous learning. Units in each year  group are organised into four core areas:

● Drawing 
● Painting and mixed-media 
● Sculpture and 3D  
● Craft and design

Our units fully scaffold and support essential and age appropriate, sequenced learning, and are 
flexible enough to be adapted to form cross-curricular links with your own school’s curriculum. 
Creativity and independent outcomes are robustly embedded into our units, supporting students in 
learning how to make their own creative choices and decisions, so that their art outcomes, whilst still 
being knowledge-rich, are unique to the pupil and personal.

Lessons are always practical in nature and encourage experimental and exploratory learning with  pupils using sketchbooks to document their ideas. Differentiated guidance is available for every  lesson to ensure that lessons can be accessed and enjoyed by all pupils and opportunities to stretch  pupils’ learning are available when required. Knowledge organisers for each unit support pupils by  providing a highly visual record of the key knowledge and techniques learned, encouraging recall of  skills processes, key facts and vocabulary. Kapow Primary supports teachers who may lack confidence in their own artistic abilities. Pupil videos  created by subject specialists help pupils to see art techniques modelled by experts, to ensure the  delivery of Art in your school is of the highest quality. Each unit of lessons includes multiple teacher  videos to develop subject knowledge and support ongoing CPD. Kapow has been created with the  understanding that many teachers do not feel confident delivering the full Art and design curriculum  and every effort has been made to ensure that they feel supported to deliver lessons of a high  standard that ensure pupil progression.

Impact

Kapow Primary’s curriculum is designed in such a way that children are involved in evaluation,  dialogue and decision making about the quality of their outcomes and the improvements they need to  make. By taking part in our regular discussions and decision making processes, children will not only  know facts and key information about art, but they will be able to talk confidently about their own  learning journey, have higher metacognitive skills and have a growing understanding of how to  improve. The impact of Kapow Primary’s scheme can be constantly monitored through both formative and  summative assessment opportunities. Each lesson includes guidance to support teachers in assessing  pupils against the learning objectives. An assessment spreadsheet including the learning outcomes for  children with secure understanding and those working at greater depth enables teachers to keep  records of summative assessments for each child. After the implementation of Kapow Primary’s Art and design scheme, pupils should leave primary  school equipped with a range of techniques and the confidence and creativity to form a strong  foundation for their Art and design learning at Key Stage 3 and beyond. The expected impact of following the Kapow Primary Art and design scheme of work is that children  will:

★ Produce creative work, exploring and recording their ideas and experiences. 
★ Be proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques. 
★ Evaluate and analyse creative works using subject-specific language. 
★ Know about great artists and the historical and cultural development of their art. 
★ Meet the end of key stage expectations outlined in the National curriculum for Art and design.

Question 2

Question 3

Our Core Key Skills

Accepted Answer

For each subject, we have identified a set of Sudell Core Key Skills. These are the skills which underpin the children’s learning across the curriculum and enable them to progress and deepen their learning each year.
They show a clear progression in skills within each curriculum area and act as the building blocks for success.
