At English Martyrs we follow the Primary National Curriculum for Art and Design.
We track our progress as a school through the learning and techniques outlined here for each year group. We track our Design & Technology progress here.
The national curriculum states that : Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. 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. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
