Art Curriculum Intent Education in Art is essential to the development of human- kind; development occurs in many ways including physical, emotional, intellectual and social. Creation is what sets the human race apart from all other species and having the desire to create coupled with the skills results in something which never existed before. Students will gain skills and knowledge within Art and design whilst being exposed to the work of artists from different time periods. They will gain enjoyment and become inspired when they explore media and techniques while investigating a theme or idea. Student are provided with a hand-on learning approach of discovery and gain confidence from their successes. Students will learn that failure is a natural part of the creative process and they will review and refine techniques until they are successful. The ability to be flexible and to think around different situations is nurtured within Art & Design and to be reflective by carrying out evaluations to build on positive aspects of work. Individuality and ambition are celebrated, and independence is promoted within Art & Design. Henri Matisse said, â€œCreativity takes courageâ€? and the confidence to be courageous is what is fostered within Art & Design. Key Stage 3 Art & Design The Key stage 3 curriculum within Art & Design will provide students with a broad set of skills where they gain confidence by exploring and investigating a wide range of artists, crafts people, designers and photographers. They will learn how to critically analyse the work while learning about the formal elements used within the subject. They will gain skills within the disciplines of: drawing, painting, 3D, Printmaking and Photography. Students will work on skills of presentation in sketchbooks or additional sheets as they evaluate by reviewing and refining their work as they develop ideas, investigate techniques and processes. This provides all students with a solid foundation on which to build at Key Stage 4. Key Stage 4 Art & Design Within Art & Design at Key Stage 4 students will build on prior knowledge and skills gained at Key Stage 3. They will broaden their knowledge by creating sustained projects which are thematic; these include: Still Life, Graphics, Portraiture. They will develop ideas, exploring the subject matter using a variety of media. This provides all students with a solid foundation on which to build at Key Stage 5. Key Stage 5 Art & Design As students will come with a range of experiences from studying GCSE: Art/ Photography/ Textiles, or without skills having given up Art at the end of year 8, the beginning of the course is very structured. Students undertake an intensive number of sessions: drawing, painting and printmaking. Within Art & Design at Key Stage 5 students will investigate their own ideas while broadening their knowledge and creating independent sustained projects of a personal nature. This provides all students with a solid foundation on which to build if they pursue a career within an Art pathway.

Drama Curriculum Intent In Drama we aim to: • • • • • • •

Develop resilience through group work, taking risks and developing an understanding of their own personal values and abilities. Understand a variety of theatre and its forms. Reflect on their own work and that of others and become astute in analysing theatre and its dramatic forms. Develop an understanding for society and the issues arising in a modern society through a safe and focused drama led exploration. Gain confidence and build self-esteem enabling them to present themselves in a positive manner in any situation. Develop an appreciation for Drama and its place in society and the curriculum. Be inquisitive and engaged in theatrical developments through time.

At Year 7 and 8 Drama is a compulsory subject with a clear focus on developing their presentation, storytelling, comprehension, personal confidence and expressive skills. At GCSE and A-Level their learning becomes far more specialised and covers stagecraft, production, naturalistic and non-naturalistic performance styles. Alongside our co-curricular school productions, theatre trips and drama clubs, we believe our programme enriches our students by giving them the opportunity to explore their own creativity, challenging them to become independent thinkers and promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of the arts.

Film Studies Curriculum Intent The study of film is an opportunity to engage with the dominant art form of the last 100 years: an art form that has spread to every corner of the globe and reflects the cultures, stories and representations of human existence. Studying film is a powerful experience that can be emotional, thrilling, illuminating and challenging. Students experience a range of responses as they are drawn into characters, their narratives and the issues films raise. The root of that power is the immersive audio-visual experience film offers – one which can exploit striking cinematography, composition and locations, powerful music and sound structured through the editing which focuses and directs the attention of the spectator. Studying film develops critical thinking through analysis of films, including: • • • • • •

the ways in which meanings and responses are generated through film a contrasting, culturally diverse range of films from different national contexts film as an aesthetic medium how films reflect the social, cultural and political contexts in which they are made the relationship between film and film technology over time to apply knowledge and understanding of film to filmmaking or screenwriting

Film Studies promotes global learning through study of diverse films from a range of cultures. It deepens historical knowledge of culture and technology and develops emotional intelligence. Alongside the critical responses, students are encouraged to explore their creativity through screenwriting and film-making. They develop independence and responsibility through planning, producing and editing filmed productions. Alongside this, they develop real world skills in writing, filming, editing and collaborating.

German Curriculum Intent Through studying a modern foreign language, students develop their ability, confidence and ambition to communicate with others. Through their learning, students become inquisitive about how language works and demonstrate the flexibility of their linguistic skills. Learning a new language broadens students’ horizons and encourages them to step beyond familiar cultural boundaries and develop new ways of seeing the world. Students become able to express their ideas and thoughts in the target language and are equipped with a plethora of skills which better prepare them for a globalised world of work. Term

The teaching in the Mathematics Department provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically and appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics. We aim to develop a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject and to engage students in developing a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts. Students will be able to recall and apply knowledge in real life situations and cross curricular subjects. Students develop the confidence to apply their mathematics to a variety of problems and are given the opportunity to show resilience in seeking their solutions. Students are frequently given the opportunity to be inquisitive through problem solving, being reflective and flexible in their approaches. Students are then empowered to show courage in applying that knowledge to other subjects and real-life situations. Students have opportunities to experience various enrichment activities which encourage them to be ambitious in their post 16 choices. Term

Photography Curriculum Intent Education in Art is essential to the development of human- kind; development occurs in many ways including physical, emotional, intellectual and social. Creation is what sets the human race apart from all other species and having the desire to create coupled with the skills results in something which never existed before. Students will gain skills and knowledge within Art and design whilst being exposed to the work of artists from different time periods. They will gain enjoyment and become inspired when they explore media and techniques while investigating a theme or idea. Student are provided with a hand-on learning approach of discovery and gain confidence from their successes. Students will learn that failure is a natural part of the creative process and they will review and refine techniques until they are successful. The ability to be flexible and to think around different situations is nurtured within Art & Design and to be reflective by carrying out evaluations to build on positive aspects of work. Individuality and ambition are celebrated, and independence is promoted within Art & Design. Henri Matisse said, “Creativity takes courage” and the confidence to be courageous is what is fostered within Art & Design. Key Stage 4 Photography Within Art & Design subjects at Key Stage 4 students will build on prior knowledge and skills gained at Key Stage 3. They will broaden their knowledge by creating sustained projects which are thematic; these include: Still Life, Graphics, Portraiture. They will develop ideas, exploring the subject matter using a variety of media. This provides all students with a solid foundation on which to build at Key Stage 5. Key Stage 5 Photography As students will come with a range of experiences from studying GCSE: Art/ Photography/ Textiles, or without skills having given up Art at the end of year 8, the beginning of the course is very structured. Students undertake an intensive number of sessions: drawing, painting and printmaking. Within Art & Design subjects at Key Stage 5 students will investigate their own ideas while broadening their knowledge and creating independent sustained projects of a personal nature. This provides all students with a solid foundation on which to build if they pursue a career within an Art pathway. Term

PSCHEE Curriculum Intent The fundamental purpose of the PSCHEE (Personal, Social, Citizenship, Health, Economic and Emotional) course is to enable children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. We encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In doing so we develop their sense of self-worth and raise self-esteem. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure that they experience the process of democracy and decision making in school through the School Council and Student Leadership Teams. We teach then about their rights and responsibilities as citizens, both in school and in the wider community. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse multi-cultural society. To do this, we must: • • • • • • •

Foster inquisitiveness and maintain pupil engagement and enjoyment in Psychology. Develop reflective learning for all pupils by promoting an awareness of the wider implications of PSCHEE for the individual, the community and the wider world in terms of (but not limited to) gender equality, human rights and democracy. Implement flexible teaching and learning practices and build resources that allow pupils to be ambitious, courageous and confident in both their classroom experiences and during independent learning. Develop a lifelong interest in social issues- both locally and globally. Provide students with deeper learning experiences in the form of external visitors, workshops and trips. Develop skills that enable individuals to focus on their personal identity, roles and responsibilities within society. Establish an understanding of emotional and physical pressures faced by our pupils and empower them by providing strategies to overcome these pressures, as well as sharing support networks for them to seek, if necessary.

Relationship and Sex Education will be age-appropriate, building knowledge and life skills over time in a way that prepares pupils for issues they will soon face. They will focus on: • • • • •

Understanding the need to be flexible when dealing with different types of relationships, including friendships, family relationships, dealing with strangers and intimate relationships. How to recognise, understand and build healthy relationships, including self-respect and respect for others, commitment, tolerance, boundaries and consent, and how to manage conflict, and how to recognise unhealthy relationships and being courageous and confident about dealing with these. How relationships may affect health and wellbeing, including mental health as well as building resilience in times of adversity. Healthy relationships and safety online. Factual knowledge, around sex, sexual health and sexuality, set firmly within the context of relationships.
