In 2022, AccessArt was proud to present a new Primary Art Curriculum.

In the Adapting AccessArt series, we will be spotlighting teachers who have used AccessArt resources to develop their own pathways, responding to the needs of their schools, pupils or educational settings.

If you would like to share your own adaptation get in touch.
