Ofsted have changed their terminology. “Composite” and “Component” elements of the curriculum now need to be apparent. You already have them, but you might be calling them something else.
Here is a fully editable document that allows you to simply type in your schemes of work and produce a visually stimulating curriculum plan that indicates the composite and component elements.
A useful doc for handing to colleagues so that you are all “singing from the same hymn sheet”! Also worth pinning up in your classroom as a visual reminder for when Ofsted come calling!
Good luck!

Updated for 2017-18. Thinking Skills are so important. Students and adults are often led to believe that there is only one right answer to the question. This doesn’t have to be the case though and it is really useful for students to be reminded of this, encouraging them to keep an open mind and explore possibilities. This way of thinking is referred to as divergent thinking and it goes hand in hand with creativity.
This resource provides questions that encourage students to problem solve and consider lots of answers to questions that don’t have just one right answer.
Each question is presented on an individual page so that they can be printed out and students can jot down ideas, scribble notes and even draw diagrams if they feel like it.
A step by step guide for students, leading them through the development of a GCSE Art sketchbook. This resource focusses on covering the Assessment Objectives and helps students see how their work can evolve. An invaluable resource for all students, but in particular, lower achieving candidates.
