Schools

SPACE’s creative learning programmes inspire school-aged children and challenge preconceptions of the artists’ role in society.

Children develop key skills and raise attainment across the curriculum through participating in projects such as People Power and Bow Power, as well as visits to our artists’ studios.

‘‘These projects are a central part of the network of strategies employed by the school to maintain the consistently improving examination results and raise student aspirations. Working with SPACE in this way helps the students to explore areas of study, life and community that they would otherwise fail to experience and provide the context for a deeper sense of understanding and empathy with the themes that are selected”
– Deputy Head, Bow School
