Art
At West Twyford we follow the National Curriculum for Art. Within this there are four overall aims.
We use a detailed skills progression document to plan and deliver art lessons. This ensures that art skills are developed systematically throughout the course of the children’s schooling. We value cross curricular teaching and art projects are usually closely linked to the current topic. This promotes creative teaching and children’s enjoyment and curiosity for learning. We also run a weekly Art Club.
