Fashion and Textiles Curriculum
“Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones” – Bruce Garrabrandt, Artist
Being part of the Academy Transformation Trust family, we ensure our curriculum is ambitious and enjoyable through knowledge and skills developed throughout their time at Bristnall Hall. It is inclusive and knowledge rich and it is broad in terms of coverage and (at least) encompassing the breadth of the 2014 English National Curriculum. We ensure it meets the needs of our students and helps to develop character, personal pride and the highest moral standards.
Textiles is taught through DT at KS3 and Art and Design at KS4 and is an inspiring, creative and practical subject. Textiles aims to engage and challenge learners, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to experiment and work with a range of techniques and materials. Learners will have opportunities to produce a wide range of creative textile products and become proficient in a range of methods of fabric decoration and construction. In Textiles, we aim to encourage the development of high skills and resilience in a safe environment, allowing students to demonstrate a range of skills.
At Bristnall Hall in Textiles our intent is:
- To engage learners in a subject that allows them to be both creative and critical thinkers
- To gain experience using a wide range of different items of equipment
- To develop their understanding of fabrics and their qualities
- To learn a wide range of different methods of fabric decoration, including dyeing, printing, embroidery, machine stitching, and other types of embellishment
- Through research and evaluation of past and present Artists and Fashion designers, they will develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world
