Out Of School Hours
Projects
(Yrs 4 – 6 Primary and Secondary
School)
These 6 – 10 week workshop based projects aim to raise aspirations
and self-esteem in young people through active participation in
challenging yet enjoyable arts activity.
The project was so much fun for both staff and pupils alike –
it was high on enjoyment to such an extent that 3 of the group
have purchased their own equipment and are now pushing to develop
their new skills.
