Our Learning programme creates high quality artist-led projects for children and young people built around individual school priorities. We also provide an artist-led offer of training and INSET to teachers and school support staff. Last year we worked with 86 schools across 15 London boroughs and delivered 1369 artist-led educational workshops. Our programme relies on our highly experienced artist educators, and we are seeking to employ a number of artist educators to add to our current pool.
