In November 2018, we held a Briefing Meeting for Headteachers and Senior Leaders.  The meeting included a Skype presentation from Susan Aykin, HMI and National Lead for Visual and Performing Arts. Susan spoke on the importance of a broad and balanced curriculum with particular reference to the Arts.

Following on from this, we have two events coming up for the Spring and Summer terms, which you may be interested in.  Places can be booked individually.  However, there is a discount available if schools book Sessions 2 and 3 together.
