There will be three subject network meetings over the course of the year, delivered by experts in the subjects. The networks will give curriculum leaders an opportunity to keep abreast of current thinking and share good practice. Our providers will focus on both disciplinary and substantive knowledge. There will be a mixture of online and face to face delivery, giving you a chance to have a more hands on approach.
Understanding the Ofsted Research Review. The first online session will break down and examine the key elements of the recent Ofsted Research Review in Art and Design and look at how this translates into the primary art curriculum. Delegates can ask specific questions about their own subject planning and will take away a coherent set of checks and action plans based on the review. Plus, general Q&A time.
Art Subject Network (Module 2 | In-person)The Art and Design planning challenge. Following on from the first session, delegates will work in teams and be given planning tasks from a stimulus to create medium term plans that display learning in the areas of practical, theoretical and disciplinary knowledge in Art and Design and other areas of the review recommendations
Art Subject Network (Module 3 | Online)Preparation and Presentation. In the final session we will look at how an Ofsted inspection would approach the subject of Art and Design in the areas of assessment, pedagogy, culture, systems, progression, and policy. This will also include teachers answering role play questions and developing a strategy to prepare and present the key areas of the subject of Art and Design to inspectors, senior leaders, governors, and school improvement visitors. Plus general Q&A time.
