Our Art units in detail
Progression of knowledge
At the beginning of each unit, children are provided with a key knowledge organiser including subject specific terminology they should learn and use throughout the unit. This is used and referred to within all lessons. At the end of each unit, children take part in subject specific quizzes.
Children are also invited to present their knowledge through online VLOGS or through our student subject seminars, which take place every half-term in classes. This is a wonderful way to assess children’s understanding of historical knowledge, concepts and vocabulary.

Progression in knowledge and skills
Progression of skills
We ensure that all our children know and understand the skills required as part of their Art curriculum. Children are actively encouraged to reflect and discuss on the key skills they have shown either during a history lesson. This is a really useful way not only for staff to assess the skills that are developed overtime, but for children to self-assess as part of their ongoing development. We use our ‘ ‘Working as an Artist’ sheet for children to record how they have done this.
