Lead Creative Schools Penygawsi Primary School: October 2018

This blog page will follow and record the progress of our participation in the 'Lead Creative Schools' scheme. Early in 2017 we applied to be part of the scheme where funding of up to £10,000 over two years is awarded to successful school applicants. We were fortunate enough to be successful and chosen to participate in the scheme. Three members of staff, Mrs James, Mrs Udy and Mrs Farrell participated in Lead Creative Schools training in September 2017 for the first project and we were allocated a Creative Agent, Carl Chapple, to help assist us in managing and devising our projects. Mrs James is the Lead Creative Schools Coordinator. Our blog is updated by the children and staff who are working on the project. Follow us on our creative journey. For the academic year 2018-2019 Mrs Parfitt will participate in some of our workshops and over the next two years we plan to disseminate the creative ethos and facilitate training for all staff across the school.

Welcome to the very beginning of our Lead Creative School project for 2019.

This year we are working with one of our Year 4 classes, with the aim to develop our speaking and listening skills through creativity in the curriculum. We are working with Paul Granjon who will help guide and mentor us through our new venture. If you wish to find out further information about Paul then visit his website by clicking here.

The workshops have been designed to provide lots of speaking, listening and creativity to help develop our skills. We will run 10 workshops and have a final performance at the end.

Please visit our blog page regularly to stay updated on our progress. If you would like to post positive comment or have any questions then feel free to add to the comments box below each post.

Our 2017- 2018 Project.

This year our project has being created to raise standards in writing using creativity and digital technology.

Some children in Year 3 and Year 5 have been chosen to participate in the project. We are going to create a digital school magazine where the children will have the opportunity to develop and manage the online platform and publish their written work.

Our big idea for the future is to offer every child in Penygawsi the opportunity to contribute towards the digital school magazine. Providing a meaningful purpose to writing for a global audience.

Please follow and support us on our creative journey.
