The transition from primary to secondary school can be a very challenging time, both emotionally and academically, for children. We open up access to arts activities for pupils in some of the most deprived wards in the country, helping to build confidence, foster ambition and improve wellbeing throughout this crucial stage of their development. The additional impact of COVID-19 means this project is needed more than ever to ensure the pupils have a positive creative outlet in which they feel successful. With a re-focusing on core subjects from September, we will help to provide a holistic, well-rounded education.
