APPROACH

EYFS

Expressive arts and design is taught continuously through a range of indoor and outdoor provisions. Pupils are given a range of daily activities that are aimed to broaden creative skills as well as develop confidence and self-expression. In addition, pupils always have the opportunity to use the ‘creative station’ located in every EYFS classroom, where pupils are able to use their own creative skills to create, draw or make art as they choose.

KS1

Design & Technology is taught through a process of research, design, make and evaluate. Teachers model this process in each unit to embed key skills before the pupils complete this independently. Pupils are given opportunities to use a range of resources such as; junk modelling, paper mâché and clay.
