Art, DT & Humanities 

Our curriculum is broad, balanced and creative. We use thematic topics to ensure we cover all areas of the curriculum, including History, Geography, Art and DT. There is a clear progression in skill development to ensure progression is evident across year groups.

Our History topics aim to give children opportunities to develop the skills and ideas needed to retrieve information from books, ICT, pictures, people and places, the ability to examine and evaluate evidence and an understanding of chronology, cause and effect and the influence of the past upon the present.

Our Geography topic aims to enable the children to develop geographical knowledge, understanding and enquiry, mapping skills and fieldwork techniques, an appreciation of the environment and the need to protect it and a greater understanding of the UK and the wider world.  Children’s work includes the study of places and covers a range of physical, human and environmental geography.

Art and D&T have a unique contribution to make to a balanced curriculum and is seen to be of a holistic nature. It is primarily concerned with generating ideas, making and doing. It provides opportunities for children to imagine, make decisions, create solutions and put them into practice. D&T enables children to use appropriate apparatus and equipment.
