Art at Mayflower Academy
Art is taught at Mayflower Academy through the United Learning Curriculum. It has been carefully sequenced so that meaningful links are made between subjects, where possible. There is a clear progression in Practical Knowledge, Theoretical Knowledge and Disciplinary Knowledge within the Curriculum. The Curriculum has been adapted for Mayflower Academy by considering the context of our pupils and the community.
For example:
• In Year 1 Summer, pupils have the opportunity to explore the natural environment around our school and record their findings using art techniques.
• In Year 2 Autumn, pupils explore our school environment and consider the work of designers and architects in relation to their own built environment.
• In Year 4 Summer and Year 6 Summer, pupils are encouraged to explore and celebrate their identity through artwork.
• In Year 5 Spring, pupils have the opportunity to record a journey they have made, during which they explore the local area through the study of maps.
• Pupils will have the opportunity to work with local artists through the curriculum and extended opportunities.
