Intent Statement
Our Art and Design curriculum is underpinned by the National Curriculum. The progression document outlines the progression in skills, use of different media, and knowledge about art and design set out for each year group. Pupils will explore their creative imagination, inspired by the work of recognised artists and architects. They will focus on developing the skills that enables artists to succeed, whilst also being given opportunity to explore different ways of working. They will develop core knowledge centered on the language associated with tools, media, techniques and evaluation. Implementation
Art and Design is usually included within our thematic units, with artists and pieces of art and design selected that are either contemporary to the focus of the unit, or create a mood an atmosphere that supports engagement with the learning. Teachers plan from the selected topics on Kapow that ensure the balance of media, artists and skills across the curriculum and through the different year groups. Where teachers wish to vary things, they consult leaders to ensure that the breadth and balance is maintained. Teachers provide support to develop skills, through practical demonstration and/or video tutorials. Impact
Current development of assessment is being reviewed. Assessment is currently through peer dialogue and verbal feedback from the teacher, which could be individual or whole class feedback. Progression

Milton Keynes Arts Centre Arts Council England Milton Keynes Mayor's Christmas card competition 2022 This year, all children were given the opportunity to design a Christmas card for the MK Mayor's Christmas card competition. The winner was selected as Julia Pisarek in Year 2 and her design was sent off to MK Council. However, Julia wasn't the overall winner of the competition but well done for being the only entrant from GLPS.

Young Artists of the Year 2021
We were given the amazing opportunity to enter the Young Artist of the Year award which was run by Westbury Art Centre. The children created artwork around the theme of identity. They were able to use any genre of art that they liked such as painting, collaging or sketching. We had a huge amount of interest in this competition and were lucky enough to have sixteen children who made it into the final stage. The finalist's art was displayed along the staircase leading to KS2.
