Blog from Head Teacher of Aureus School Hannah Wilson on developing a STEAM school.
Posted: 01/04/2018
Read about how Hannah Wison, Head Teacher of a new school in Didcot was determined to retain a balanced curriculum despite the school’s position in the middle of two major science parks.
She says it, ‘made sense for the school to be designated as a STEM school. However, as
an English, Media and Drama specialist who has led the Performing Arts
provision in the last few London schools I have worked in, I felt very
strongly that I did not want our vision to result in an unbalanced
curriculum and focus on some subjects at the expense of others. I thus
re-designated us as a STEAM School. I use the phrase of putting the
Arts at the Heart of our school.’
