Situation
Tower Hamlets continues to face significant challenges around child poverty, educational aspiration and cultural integration. Funding cuts and increased pressure on school time have led to a decline in opportunities for children to access creative learning experiences which underpin their personal and educational development. Research indicates that children who have high levels of arts engagement do better academically and attain more positive outcomes in civic engagement.
Solution
Enable 4-16 year olds in mainstream and special educational needs (SEN) schools to develop their confidence, creativity and life skills through projects including: • A series of interactive music workshops and concerts in and out of school • Creative music and performance projects for pupils from SEN and mainstream primary schools • Bespoke singing and musical play sessions in nursery and reception classes All led by professional artists and music leaders.
