Art & Design Curriculum Architecture
Strategic curriculum design for ambitious UK and international schools.
Curriculum Architecture in Practice
SR Creative Curriculum Consultancy designs and implements Art & Design curriculum architecture across UK and international contexts.
Our work spans whole-school alignment, KS3–KS5 progression design, examination strategy and leadership advisory — ensuring coherent, high-attaining provision built for long-term sustainability.
Curriculum-Focused CPD
Strategic professional development designed to strengthen curriculum architecture, refine progression and secure high attainment across KS3–KS5.
Delivered for departments seeking clarity, coherence and long-term impact.
Why It Matters
Art & Design becomes exceptional when its curriculum is deliberately structured. Rigour, independence and high attainment are outcomes of design — not chance.
Our approach is:
• Strategically aligned with whole-school vision
• Research-informed and examination-aware
• Structurally designed for progression across KS3–KS5
• Built to secure independence and distinction
