Approaches to Learning and Assessment

In Art we aim to develop pupils’ resilience and ability to advance through problem solving skills.  Pupils are shown key skills and ideas but are encouraged to work through their own projects and ideas independently so as to develop better as individual artists.

The Department’s approach to teaching and learning follows a tutorial style in Key Stage 4 and 5 with formative assessments delivered through ongoing feedback. Formal feedback sheets are given at intervals and all major projects have a summative assessment and feedback sheet.
