Gosden House provides a warm and vibrant learning environment, where exploration and curiosity are nurtured and valued. Our children are lively and enthusiastic about every opportunity offered and this excitement empowers them to try new things and to engage with learning. Our Curriculum reflects our ambition as a learning school, to prepare our learners who often face the toughest challenges every day, the best chance to improve their life outcomes. Throughout our Learner’s journeys in Creative Arts, they experience a variety of topics/projects in which they are encouraged to use their Learning Habits and Muscles. Please see content coverage for more information of the topics/projects that our Learners experience throughout their Creative Arts journey. Within our Primary Department, our learners will experience cross-curricular topic based learning, their Creative Arts lessons are used to offer creative and immersive experiences of these topics. Within Key Stage Three, our Learners will experience project-learning; which we refer to as Our World. Each project will begin with a Key Question, which is used to spark the creativity and curiosity of our learners. Creative Arts plays a fundamental role within the Our World projects, each class will have bespoke Drama, Music and Art lessons related to their project, as well as Creative Arts opportunities woven throughout their project. Within Key Stage Four, our Learners are able to choose to study a Level 1 Bronze Arts Award. This is a one-year course aimed at inspiring learners to take an active part in Creative Arts activities as well as experiencing the Creative Arts as audience members. Learners research an artist/craftsperson who inspires them and develop their leadership skills through passing on their Creative Arts skills to others. Learners record their activities in an art portfolio.
