Next up, we hope to survey our wider school community (parents and management) and to collate all of the information we have gathered, to develop an arts plan for the school that reflects all stakeholders’ points of view, and helps us to establish long term pathways for engagement in the arts. That said, the child’s voice remains the key determinant in how our journey to becoming a creative school will ultimately unfold. We will be hitting the ground running as soon as we return to school, engaging the children in lots of creative activities that enable them to express themselves and hopefully develop a range of transferable, life-long skills such as critical thinking. Eventually, it is hoped that our Creative Schools journey will culminate in a ‘celebration of creativity’ presented back to the school community in a form yet to be determined by the children themselves. It could be an exhibition or showcase of work, a trip to a cultural venue or site, a concert or performance of some kind, or could perhaps take an entirely original and unexpected form! We know no more at this time, but you could always consult with the ‘expert in creativity’ at home (your child) if your curiosity gets the better of you… after all, children are widely recognised as the most naturally creative of all.
