Art and Design: Blocked Creative Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed carefully to ensure at least National Curriculum coverage and progression in key skills.
At St Charles, we use a ‘Blocked Curriculum’ model for selected Foundation Curriculum Subjects. Art and Design is taught as part of our Blocked Curriculum.
Overview of Blocked Curriculum at St Charles
Through blocking the curriculum in these subjects, children receive a more focused and immersive learning experience; one which enables their knowledge to become more deeply embedded as part of our knowledge-led curriculum.
This helps to fosters deeper engagement and purpose for Art and Design tasks, giving children specific knowledge in these areas.
Further information on our Art and Design Curriculum , including the current topics, can be found below and in the half-termly newsletters sent home to each class.
At St Charles, we aim to create a high-quality Art and Design education to 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. Our curriculum is designed carefully to ensure National Curriculum coverage and progression of key skills. This helps to fosters deeper engagement and purpose for Art and Design tasks whilst giving children specific knowledge in these areas.
