In line with our parent organisation (London & South East Education Group), Bromley Trust Academy has, with immediate effect, placed restrictions on the use of removable media within the schools. The term removable media covers pen/thumb drives, writable optical media (CD-R/DVD-R) and portable/external hard drives. These restrictions have become part of the staff handbook and policy and all staff, students and visitors are expected to adhere to this restriction.
Staff instead are urged to use the Trust's Bromley cloud storage provided by the Group.
Visitors bringing removable media into our premises will need to make contact with the Data Controller of the specific school to supervise the transfer of any materials to and from our networks.
There are few exceptions to this restriction, namely where coursework and assessment materials must be sent to the examination bodies and invigilators. The transfer of this content will be carefully monitored.
Art
Aims
Art gives the students the ability to express, diversify, challenge themselves, explore feelings, think outside the box and have the freedom to explore emotion, soul and culture.
We believe the students should have opportunities and be able to reach for the stars. Art by the very nature of the subject allows the students to achieve this.
The environment and facilities allows the students to develop their skills and explore their creativity with no boundaries or restrictions. Schemes of work are designed to ensure that all students have the ability to progress and achieve developing their ideas by using the inspiration of others and by experimenting with a wide range of materials. Through the study of art and the individual development of creative skills, students will gain a fuller understanding of the part played by art and design in the wider world.
Art also allows students a therapeutic opportunity to explore feelings and students can access materials within lessons as part of the wider nurture approach to help deal with and manage emotions.
Qualifications
At KS4 the NCFE art and design course provides students with opportunities for personal expression; encouraging imagination, sensitivity, self-awareness and the development of conceptual thinking and analytical skills.
NCFE Level 1 and 2 are the main qualifications. Scaffolding through year 10 and 11.
