SPIRITUAL, MORAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURE IN ART
The nature of art lends itself to engage in a wide range of Spiritual, Moral, Cultural and Social studies.
In each year group students will analyse, interpret, engage with and question their own and others work. They will identify how cultural, moral, political and social beliefs and values are expressed though art. Students are encouraged to explore their environment, beliefs and ideas through their art, which is supported by strong research into the wider world around them. This is reinforced by trips and outings to museums and galleries that are strongly linked to projects and to reinforce their understanding of their work.

KEY STAGE 4 AND KEY STAGE 5
Schemes of work in Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 are designed to promote individual thinking, resilience and self-worth.
All outcomes are encouraged to show individuality that is purposeful and meaningful. Students are encouraged to explore their own ideas and meaning in order to promote self-identity. Independent reflections on own work through self-evaluations.
All students are taught to understand and read an art work in order to relate to a concept or idea that conveys a meaning. Students are taught the importance of independence and perseverance to see an idea through, developing and refining art work as it progresses. We use group critique to aide progress and encourage positive discussion. Students learn to debate and interpret artwork and understanding hidden meaning and context. We promote the ideas of looking for deeper meaning within artwork and using this understanding to develop students own ideas and intentions.
Artwork is displayed in exhibitions to develop a sense of pride and community.
