The course focuses on developing leadership and management skills to effectively lead a department; address Ofsted requirements; and build strong, successful teaching teams. Participants will explore how to develop teaching and learning, inspire and support colleagues and improve pupil outcomes.
This word ‘experience’ is chosen over ‘curriculum’ in this session title to place emphasis on the fact that pupil engagement with the visual arts does not only start and finish in lesson time. Delegates will explore the curriculum, looking at core and hinterland aspects of its content and will look at other ways to celebrate and raise the profile of Art & Design in the school community.

From September 2025 the ITT and ECF Frameworks will be replaced by the the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF), which sets out what trainee and early career teachers need to know, and know how to do, at the start of their careers. ECTs will need to revisit approaches introduced in their training to develop greater fluency and confidence, and to develop their decision making in order to solve more complex challenges.
This NSEAD programme provides subject specific support to ensure that teachers are able to flourish and develop their practice as specialist teachers of art and design.
