Art | Fine Art Art is not what you see but what you make others see Go Go Our Art curriculum intends to: Develop intuition, reasoning, imagination, and dexterity into an unique form of expression and communication. Develop an appreciation of the aesthetic nature of the world around us. Critically evaluate the way cultures are represented through their arts and celebrate diversity. Why Learn Art? Art is a vibrant and dynamic subject that offers pupils the freedom to learn in ways that inspire and bring out the best in their skills and knowledge. Art embodies some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art education will engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. Pupils will learn how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. Our pupils will build theoretical knowledge of the concept of art itself, as well as acquire disciplinary knowledge and appreciation of the techniques of artists and craft-makers. EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content Overview of the course: It is important for children to engage with the Arts regularly and to explore a range of media and materials. This interaction will help them work towards early learning goals. We recognise this need and therefore we integrate Art into our learning of topics in EYFS and KS1. Key stage 1 Our pupils are taught: to use a range of materials creatively to design and make products. to use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination. to develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space. about the work of a range of artists, craft-makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work. Long Term Plan for Primary phase Art - Long Term Plan, Overview of the course: We integrate Art into our learning of topics from Year 4. In Year 6 we deliver Art as as discrete subject taught be a subject specialist. Key stage 2 Our pupils are taught to develop their techniques, including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design. Specifically we cover how: to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas. to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay]. about great artists, architects and designers in history. Long Term Plan for Primary phase Art - Long Term Plan Course skills: In Year 7 pupils will be introduced to a broad range of new techniques, materials, artists and themes. These experiences will set the foundations for developing as an effective artist and creative thinker. In Year 8 pupils will build on the skills, techniques, knowledge and understanding introduced to them in Year 7. They will be encouraged to show refinement within their work and challenge themselves in a creative way. Pupils will work through three different projects per year, engaging in practical tasks, discussion, group work and home learning projects. Each termly project is designed to help pupils understand the art they see around them and why art is so important within the world and in recording historical events in a visual way. Each project is designed to cover practical skills, knowledge and understanding, and creative thinking. Pupils will experiment with both 2D and 3D media and explore techniques including painting, printing, collage, and sculpture. Drawing is seen as a fundamental art skill, which is encouraged and developed across all year groups. In Year 7 pupils begin to develop a more realistic style of drawing and are taught the importance of keen observation, accurate line and use of tone. This is continued throughout Year 8 and onto GCSE level. Knowledge & Understanding: How ideas, feelings and meanings are conveyed in images, artefacts, and products. A range of art, craft, and design processes in two and/or three-dimensions and traditional and new media and technologies how images, artefacts and products relate to social, historical, vocational and cultural contexts.

French Becoming an active communicator in the world's global village Go Go Our Languages Curriculum intends to: Broaden pupils horizons by developing a passion for languages and cultures and recognise the additional career opportunities open to people who speak an additional language. Ensure that every pupil is encouraged and supported to study a language for GCSE. Encourage a growth mind-set in pupils to learning a new language and develop the confidence to communicate. Overview of the Course: The learning of a language encourages respect for other people; it fosters an understanding of the interrelation of language and human nature. Studying any foreign language will broaden minds and give pupils a better insight into the world around us. It will encourage empathy as an individual. It demonstrates openness to society and an ability to communicate with others on all levels. The learning of a language supports an appreciation of cultural diversity. Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages' education will foster pupils' curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. This enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It also provides opportunities for the pupils to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries Pupils will continue to study the language they have learnt at The Westgate School since Year 7. Some pupils choose to continue with a second language. German will also be offered as a GCSE starting in Year 9 (dependant on pupil numbers). Several trips run throughout the year to complement the learning of languages and broaden pupils' cultural experiences. EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content French is not taught within our school day as we focus on Spanish. French is not taught within our school day as we focus on Spanish. Overview of the Course: Key stage 3 is organised into engaging termly topics through which the key skills are taught. Pupils in every class will be encouraged to verbally express themselves through a range of structured talk opportunities, as well as developing close and active listening skills. Both the reading and writing skills are explicitly taught so that the pupils can develop their confidence throughout the two years. Course Content: Year 7 Year 7 focuses on developing the skills needed to become an active language learner; pupils will choose to study French or Spanish. In the Autumn term, the unit ‘This is Me’ teaches the pupils the skills to become confident at learning a language by encouraging pupils to speak almost immediately. Using the world of comic books encourages the pupils to give opinions and talk about themselves in the Spring term; Picasso and Dali stimulate descriptive language in the Summer term. Year 8 Year 8 builds and develops the skills from Year 7. Most pupils will continue to study the language they chose in Year 7. Confident linguists may also choose to study French/Spanish in Year 8 as a second language; we will offer these depending on sufficient interest (German is on offer to start at GCSE in Year 9 dependent on uptake). Places and buildings are used to introduce the pupils to the future tense, through a topic on future towns and the past tense is introduced in the Spring term, when the pupils focus on castles and jousting! The Summer term helps build on the pupils’ cultural capital, as well as their language skills, with a focus on celebrations: festivals and traditions. Many of the topics - and especially the trips organised to complement the curriculum - are designed to broaden pupils’ cultural experiences. Course Skills: Listening and Speaking: Pupils first interact with their target language by developing acti ve listening skills and the confidence of speaking a new language and communicating with each other. Reading: Pupils’ skills are built up by activities involving word recognition and very quickly they develop the skills needed to decode meaning in more challenging texts. Writing: Using sentence starters, vocabulary booklets and active learning strategies, pupils begin to construct meaning and manipulate language to express themselves and communicate in writing. Assessment: Throughout KS3, the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing are assessed. The pupils are fully prepared for these in lessons before their summative assessment. The topics covered will be: Me, myself and friends. Home, town, neighbourhood and region. Free time activities Food and eating out. Healthy eating. Customs and festivals.
