The Learning Partnership offers consultancy support for Art led by Paul as follows:

​

Consultancy, curriculum audits, curriculum planning, subject appraisals, and reviews

A free consultancy meeting is offered to discuss the work and establish an outline of need, including the length of the job and the scale of the work involved.

Fees will be charged at the following rates:

• Rate A: £575.00+VAT – Typically, a curriculum review or short subject appraisal will fit into this category.
• Rate B: £805.00+VAT – Typically, a full day training staff or working with a school.
• Discounts arranged for longer contracts. This is usually when I’m planning a school’s entire curriculum. The planning meeting will establish how much needs to be done. If I have to write a new unit of work, they take half a day to write each one. I usually quote around £900.00+VAT – £1,000.00+VAT to write a whole primary curriculum (on a half timetable), but this includes Learning Partnership fees. A full curriculum would need to be separately quoted for.

Curriculum Reviews

My consultancy time can be tailored around your schools unique needs. I would only advise not to try to cram too much into a session. Popular content centres on drawing and/or painting skills progression, sketchbooks, assessment, progression, finding and using artist knowledge in art, creative project planning. 

For subject leaders or School Leaders, I can do an art audit of your art planning, resources, delivery, and staff training etc. followed by a 2-hour online meeting with key stakeholders and a final report of recommendations. This will ensure you have taken all the necessary steps you can to teach art well and give your children the best start in art and design you can. 

1. You would complete a quick audit document we will send in advance.
2. I will study any planning and current resources you have in place, to evaluate your current provision.
3. I’ll will then arrange an online meeting with your subject lead and/or senior leaders to discuss your art provision.
4. We will write a report of the findings which will include recommendations for how the subject could move forward. 

My fee for this would be £575.00+VAT. All my bookings are made via
