Oak and NSEAD Curriculum Partnership

Back

Art Matters, Teachers Matter, Learners Matter! We believe that all learners have an entitlement to art, craft and design education that is underpinned by well designed, future-facing contemporary curriculum, that are relevant and adapted to the specific context of learners – wherever they go to school.

NSEAD is working with Oak National Academy to design flexible, adaptable models of practice, informed by national subject experts and recent high-level research. This work is publicly funded for the benefit of all art, craft and design teachers and schools. Our hope is that our partnership with Oak alongside our own Big Landscape project will result in an unparalleled package of support for art, craft and design educators. Better practice for teachers, led by teachers – they deserve nothing less. 

Over the past 18 months we have been working hard to develop new Primary and Secondary curriculum resources. Supporting teachers, acting for equity and championing a learner-centered, future-facing contemporary curriculum for all.
