Art and Design 

At King James Academy, we are proud to offer a carefully designed Art and Design curriculum that not only aligns with the National Curriculum but also ensures a clear progression of skills throughout each stage of your child's education. Our curriculum, supported by Kapow, is thoughtfully mapped to build on prior learning, allowing children to develop and refine their creative abilities year after year.

From early exploration of drawing and painting techniques to more complex sculpting and design projects, each lesson is designed to engage students in hands-on activities that enhance their understanding and appreciation of art. Children are encouraged to explore different media, experiment with techniques, and evaluate both their own work and that of famous artists.

Our sequential lessons ensure that your child’s artistic journey is not only creative but also structured, with each new skill building on previous learning. Whether they are working on individual pieces or collaborative projects, students develop a strong foundation in key artistic concepts while also gaining confidence in expressing their unique ideas. This approach guarantees that every child will make connections across subjects, deepen their understanding of art, and develop their own creative voice.

By fostering a love for art through engaging and diverse experiences, we ensure that each child at King James Academy is supported in achieving their full potential in Art and Design.
