Our Intent

The Art and Design curriculum at Brookland Junior school aims to inspire pupils and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. The Scheme we use (Kapow) is written by experts in their field and designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists across cultures and through history. 

The scheme we use supports pupils to meet the National curriculum end of key stage attainment targets and has been written to fully cover the National Society for Education in Art and Design’s progression competencies. At Brookland, we aim to inspire our children to create, experience, and participate in arts and culture.
