Creative & Performing Arts
The arts develop expression and discipline together. In Key Stage 2 children refine art and design techniques, perform and compose in music, and build confidence through drama and performance.
- Art & Design Techniques
Technique gives creativity its power. This topic develops drawing, painting and sculpture skills and explores the work of great artists and designers.
- Music: Performance & Composition
Music is made, not just heard. This topic covers performing, composing, and beginning to read and use staff notation.
- Drama & Performance
Drama builds voice and confidence. This topic uses improvisation, scripting and performance to develop speaking, listening and teamwork.

A little help getting started
How should I choose a resource?
Use the topic and stage as a starting point, then read the individual resource instructions. Parents and pupils can ask a teacher for help choosing work that fits their current learning.
Why might a resource be unavailable?
The listings follow current resource visibility and account settings. Some activities require sign-in, a membership or another permission. Browse another topic or return to the learning library to explore.
What do the learning records tell me?
The tools and trackers depend on the resource. Opening a document is separate from submitting practice or recording completion, and none alone establishes mastery.
