Creative Schools aims to give students the opportunity to experience creativity as an integral part of their education placing the arts and creativity at the centre of school life.
Ms Sarah Conway, our Art Teacher, is the main link person involved in the Creative Schools project. Our school is also supported by a Creative Associate who develops an individual school plan, and creates and strengthens links between the school and arts & cultural organisations. The long term aim is that every school will be able to fully embrace the arts and creativity, ensuring a positive experience and strong outcomes for children and young people.
It is well recognised that engagement in the arts can nurture a child’s sense of confidence and well-being. Creative activity also enables communication and collaboration, stimulates imaginations and harnesses curiosity; all necessary skills required for successful learning. Other important outcomes
The initiative recognises that schools play an important role in providing opportunities for children to participate in arts and culture and doing so also develop socio-emotional wellbeing, cognitive development, and positive attitudes towards school.
