Description: |
The Bow Arts Learning consortium programme brings schools together to create inspirational learning opportunities for children and young people. Programmes support schools to work together more effectively to embed the arts. We work with head teachers and subject leaders to plan, manage and deliver artist-led projects that respond to school priorities, curriculum and learner needs. Children work with artists to learn new skills and develop their knowledge and understanding of art and design. Consortia also provide staff opportunities to work collaboratively with peers from other schools through dedicated artist-led professional development. Suitable for existing or new school partnerships, such as informal partnerships, Federations, Multi Academy Trusts, or other school alliances. Consortia typically range from 6 to 12 schools |
