The specialist nature of the subject curriculum.
The main aims of Creative media are to support pupils in the development of their technical and creative skills, as well as their confidence and knowledge in the use of media technologies. We also want to help pupils progress onto higher levels of achievement in the arts, and ultimately into employment or further study in the field. learners move to achieving these goals by taking part in their chosen arts projects. These include game design, film production, photography, dance, green screen production, radio presenting and 3D design. Pupils also have the opportunity to go on VR expeditions, which allow them to explore different cultures and environments through virtual reality. Pupils have Creative Media lessons four times a week, and each lesson is structured around a different project. This ensures that pupil have the opportunity to try out a variety of different arts disciplines, and to find the one that they are most passionate about. Planning across the Key Stages Pupils take part in a Creative media quiz on entry into the subject. This establishes the level that they are currently working at and what areas they need to focus on. All pupils are entered for an Arts award qualification, which is progression from their previous stage (if they have completed one). The Hopewell School Arts award offers a broad and balanced curriculum that covers all aspects of the arts, from performance to composition. To help support learners in creative media, fun and engaging weekly quizzes form part of an ongoing assessment process. In these quizzes, students take part in interactive quizzes about the topics they have covered in their lessons. This helps to ensure that they are engaging with the material and consolidates their learning. Key skills taught at KS2 and KS3 are Art form knowledge and understanding Creativity, Communication and an understanding of communication. The Creative Media, Arts award qualifications starts at Explore and works up through to Bronze, Silver and Gold. Where pupils take their knowledge from their previous stage and apply it to their new project levels. Creative media is developed to be ambitious and meet the pupils' needs by focusing on their interests. This is how we personalise the arts award at Hopewell to make it more enjoyable and successful for everyone involved, and because we offer the Arts award qualification at its highest-level Gold, this gives pupils the high expectations that they need to succeed. Assessment materials and strategy Creative media is assessed through a variety of methods including, but not limited to, practical work, presentations, and individual projects. Fun and engaging weekly quizzes are also used as an ongoing assessment process for Hopewell pupils taking part in the Arts award. These quizzes help to ensure that they are engaging with the material covered in their lessons and consolidates their learning in a fun and interactive way. At the end of each half term formative assessments take place in the form of teacher assessments. We use these formative assessments to complete a data drop to assess where children are in their learning using classroom monitor. This is then used to identify children who need additional support and as a gap analysis to inform planning. Presentations, dress rehearsals and review sessions are built into the creative media lessons, so that pupils can revisit parts of their learning and receive feedback. This helps to ensure that they are making good progress towards their Arts award qualification.
