Confident Artists,
Confident Schools

Art is assessed holistically, by the people who taught it, against four objectives that carry equal weight. That single fact makes it unlike almost every other subject in the building — and it is why a whole-school marking policy arriving in the art room so often measures the wrong thing.

This booklet is written for the whole department at once. A head of art can read it as a curriculum and quality-assurance document; a teacher can open it at the page they need on a Monday. The four boards are compared from their own specifications rather than from summaries, and where they differ, the difference is stated rather than blended away.

Written to

AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas specifications & the Ofsted art and design research review

Intended for

For heads of art, subject leaders and every teacher in the department
