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.

Our New Project.

This year our Lead Creative School Project has been created to help develop our speaking skills. The project is focussing on Year 4 children (Miss Parfitt's) class. 


We are working with Paul Granjon, an Artist, who is going to help us to make talking robots.
Paul has a website where you can see his work. Click on the link below.




As part of the project process the children invited Paul for an interview in the Autumn. They were very impressed with him and believed that he would be fun, interesting and helpful in helping us to develop our speaking skills.


Over the next ten weeks on a Wednesday we are going to work with Paul. You can follow our progress by looking at this blog page.

We are very excited to be working with Paul and can't wait to see where this project will take us.

Mrs James.
