Introducing Creative Schools

In 2021, our school took part in the Creative Schools Initiative. We had our Creative Associate Anna come and help us implement a plan to expand creativity in our school and wider community. She trained us and helped us with networking and ideas. She did exercises to see what was wanted by the student body.

The Festival of Creativity

This led to us deciding on a Creative Plan to inspire and foster creativity within our school and wider community. We will have our own Festival of Creativity with the theme of Connection & Community. This will take place in May. We’ll have students performing on stage, art exhibitions, murals, animation workshops, puppetry and much more! We’re also getting parents involved, we’re looking for expertise on construction, graphic design and materials that anyone might have spare e.g fairy lights, parasols and display units. We have a full list here. We have a website where you can find regular updates regarding the festival. We hope to see you there!
