We offer schools a wide selection of inspiring programmes – from Taster Days to specialist residencies and INSET sessions. Each programme has been designed to maximise your schools’ creative potential.

We believe all young people should have the opportunity to benefit from the skills our highly experienced artists can share, so we have made a range of  subsidies available to disadvantaged schools to help reduce booking costs.
