Adapt the Curriculum to Suit your School
A key aim behind our new Primary Art Curriculum is to ensure that our resources are flexible enough to suit all schools, whatever your size or structure.
Find the main versions of the Curriculum here. Click on your chosen curriculum to find support documentation to help you adapt the curriculum to suit your school. Explore some of our suggested curriculum adaptations here.
All the supporting documents we provide are fully editable. Once you have adapted your curriculum, if you would like AccessArt to take a quick look at your edited sequencing we can do that for you. Email info@accessart.org.uk.
Introduce AccessArt to your Staff
It’s vital that all staff understand how AccessArt works so we have created a number of videos which you can share with staff at a meeting to help introduce them to AccessArt.
Start your AccessArt journey by watching one of the Introductions to the AccessArt Curriculum. You can also find videos explaining our approach to knowledge and skills within the curriculum, progression, assessment and teacher growth.
How to Access the Pathways
You can access all pathways via clicking on your chosen Curriculum here.
Or you can see all pathways available here.
Develop Staff Skills
It’s important to us that our resources can be used by inexperienced, non-specialist teachers, as well as more experienced educators. To that end, we offer an ongoing programme of zoom CPD which are free to members (our collaborative CPD is reduced price for members) to help build understanding and enjoyment. We also have a library of recordings of past zoom cpd sessions.
Your staff might also like to see our pedagogy posts here.
