CUSP Art and Design

Curriculum Context

In addition to the core knowledge required to be successful within each discipline, the curriculum outlines key aspects of artistic development in the Working Artistically section. If you would like further information about the progression of skills in other areas of our art curriculum, please contact the Art Subject Leader. 

Teaching and Learning

Vocabulary is the golden thread that sits at the heart of the CUSP Curriculum, mapped out from the EYFS to Year 6 within and across subjects. 

CUSP Art and Design resources contain a wealth of evidence-led materials to support excellent teaching and long-term learning.  

How the Subject Leader monitors and evaluates the curriculum

We use Pupil Book Study (Alex Bedford, published by John Catt) to evaluate the impact of the curriculum on the lived experience of pupils.
