Extended learning in the Arts

The ‘Adopt an Artist’ scheme offers extended learning provision in the Arts for schools. This successful scheme gives pupils the opportunity to work with a specialist artist after school for one hour per week over a six week period. Each half term the pupils will work with a different artist ranging from sculptors to break-dance specialists. The scheme also offers Master Classes and progression routes with oppertunity to acheive accreditation through the Arts Award Scheme. The scheme has also been running family  workshops.
