Whilst many schools use the QCA schemes of work for art, this is not statutory. In best practice situations, where the schemes are used, they are implemented in a flexible way that fits in with topic work in order to make learning meaningful for children. Go to cross curricular themes for ideas and examples of project work.

Follow the web links here to find widely available published schemes.
