Throughout this academic year, the PVG and AoLE Leader undertook Workbook Scrutiny, Listening to Learners and a Pupil Questionnaire as part of our LPS Review Week Monitoring.

We identified the following strengths related to our Action Plan:

• All classes are using their challenge boards and topic webs to generate Expressive Arts ideas to develop and improve independent learning and higher order thinking.
• All classes are completing art and music activities through their challenges and missions. A few classes are completing drama activities through their challenges and missions. The impact this is having is that the children are being creative and expressing themselves in different ways. They are developing important skills, both those specific to the expressive arts and those which are transferable.
• All classes are carrying out art and music activities during class lessons linked to their Cornerstone topics. A few classes are completing drama activities linked to their Cornerstone topics. This plays a vital role in enabling the children in LPS to enhance their creative talent and develop their artistic skills.

Our next steps are:

• To develop the teaching and learning of art throughout the school, ensuring the subject is linked to literacy, numeracy and STEM. Liaise with AoLE leaders to develop links between the different areas of learning and the art strand of expressive arts. Ensure that all elements of art are being developed throughout the school the school effectively, through class lessons, challenges and missions; including designing and making 3D art, and exploring the work of artists from different cultures.  
• To develop the teaching and learning of music throughout the school, ensuring the subject is linked to literacy, numeracy and STEM. Liaise with AoLE leaders to develop links between the different areas of learning and the music strand of expressive arts.
