Art and Design became statutory in 1989 due to
the NI Reform Order. This ensured that Art and
Design be recognised as a main subject. The
Programme of Study came about to ensure all
pupils have the relevant Key Experiences in Art
and Design and were provided with equal access to
a broad and balanced curriculum. The Programme
of Study has become a national strategy and acts
as an invaluable guideline for teachers.
