Wave is aware of the time pressures within schools brought on by the need to achieve good SATS scores and deliver “core” curriculum subjects successfully. This can have a detrimental impact on the time allotted for the delivery of “creative” subjects, such as Arts and Design, or Music. There is also increasingly a shortage of specialist staff within certain schools to deliver arts or cultural education workshops effectively.
If you are struggling with your creative offer in your school, why not look at setting up an after school arts, dance or drama club?
